New Center News
With all that is happening around us it’s easy to be frightened by all that we see going on. At times, it can be overwhelming with the problems we see. However we find in I John 4:4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. John is reassuring us that God is stronger than evil and we need to place our faith and trust in him. God will conquer all evil.
Christian love and sympathy is extended to the friends and family of Zettie Wright and Spencer Helms.
