Sure Hope Gazette

We have been listening to a documentary, recommended by the Pastor we were listening to today Charles Lawson, of Dr. Rawlings. Pastor Lawson recently experienced a cardiac event  and he officially died for about 8 seconds. He recommended watching documentary about Dr. Rawling.

If you are an atheist, we challenge you to watch. If you are searching, take a look and if you are a Christian, be encouraged.
