Imagine this: A harmonious church where all business meeting votes for three years were unanimous! And about 15 years later as the pastor and his associate during those 3 years were reminiscing, neither could remember even 10 seconds of tension in their relationship. This was my experience 1965-68. God gave His model and ample instruction for us to live and labor together in unity. Join us for an exciting and helpful hour!
