Past Five Minute Moments (5MMs)

In our morning worship service, Pastor Chris or another, will share a short message unrelated to the sermon. Perhaps a biblical reflection on something contemporary, or a burden from the heart or a some needed teaching from Scripture. They are not meant to be comprehensive but rather short, digestible and to the point. Some of these can be found below.
