Single at Seven Mile Road

by Kevin Luce on January 25, 2012

One of the great privileges of serving as a pastor at 7MR is that we get to sit with people considering membership and listen to their questions and insights about the church. This is always very instructive for me. This week I got to sit with Simon Wha, and in our conversation, I got to [...]
