Dear Members and Friends,
I hope all of you are doing well. This is to let you know that, as of today, I have begun posting what will be regular audio updates.
As we move through these challenging days, I wish each one of you the very best. Though we are not gathering as we normally do, we remain one community in Christ.
Be well,
Rev. Dominic
