Never having been to this church‚ I was thoroughly impressed with Deacon Bob’s sermon. It was obvious he prepared extensively for his performance and it made his message that much more memorable. He explained to us that he was visiting from Trenton‚ NJ so it was nice to have a different perspective‚ a fresh take on things.
