Are you ready for something different?

With all of the controversy swirling around health care reform, maybe the answer is right in our own neighborhoods.
 
The New Testament of the Bible, written 2000 years ago, has a solution.  As God moved in the hearts of His people, He brought them together.  This developed a sense of security in an insecure world resulting in:
 

  •                    Unity of purpose
  •                    A generous community
  •                    A strong belief in the love of God
  •                    A lifting of others out of poverty
