A message from President, Barb Stanley. What would you drive an hour for? This is the question that has been ricocheting around in my mind since September. You see, that’s when we invited nine groups of people to help us film a very special video. Now, hold on for a second. You may be thinking, well, of course people would drive an hour to film a video because they would get a nice paycheck for their time, right?

Do you remember the very first time someone talked to you about Jesus?   Many of you probably can’t recall that first time because it seems like it has been happening all your life.

Who are you really? Who is the you that you want to be? When your time on Earth is done, who is the you that you want people to remember?
