The evening was a great success. Thanks to our speaker Laura Loveberry, the men and women of Faith who worked hard to prepare for the evening and to the ladies who attended!
Praise God that His message was proclaimed and that His name was glorified in the evening. Take a look at some of the pictures from the evening.
