ABIDING

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself."         - Galatians 5:13-14

I like these verses because the more and more I think about what it takes to be fulfilled in the world and to offer fulfillment to one another I truly believe we must love our neighbors as ourselves. Though I think it is that simple, understanding what is being commanded is more difficult  I'm still trying to figure out what all that entails, loving of ones self and how to then show that to others.  I believe in serving humbly in love and if I could truly do this daily, those would be good days.                                  - Megan Miller 

Vision Statement -  As followers of Jesus Christ, we are a community of faith

empowered by the Holy Spirit, seeking to love God with all our heart, mind, soul,

and strength, and to love others as our self.
