"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with
all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And
the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
— Matthew 22:37-39

I’m excited about growing together with you.
The meetings will be discussion and prayer-oriented. They will not be
lectures.
