Volunteering at First†Met
Volunteer Leadership: Putting Your Faith into Action!: When have you said “yes” and were glad you did? Few things delight the heart of God more than when we respond to the Spirit’s promptings by saying (and living) “yes” in ways which make a positive difference in the world and in our own lives.
