Sunday Morning Service: Dragnet

Sunday morning service at Gospel Light… it’s like going back home to be with family. It’s a time and place to recharge our batteries and eat from the Word of God.

Sorry Charlie

(Sunday Morning Recap 08-01-10) During our adult Sunday school, Pastor Giardino conducted a word study on the meaning of “accept/acceptable” in the bible.
