created. This helps our church remain viable and authentic
as it strives to serve all our members now and in the future.

Previously:
We all had a fantastic time with Jenn, who visited us from PA.
At service, we witnessed a wonderful Spiritual Address, full of
meaningful quotes and words to live by.  Spirit messages were
given by Frank and Jenn—a high level of connectivity was apparent
to all.  The workshop on energy was enjoyed and we ended with
a sense of reaching a higher vibration with knowledge of tools
and chi gong practices to achieve these states again.  Fully in
gratitude for the great visit! Thanks and love to you Jenn!

In peace and harmony,
Valerie Miller
