Dry Bones
I led the service last night and lawyer Murilo preached on the valley of Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37:1-14. It was an excellent sermon and a lovely service with a packed church. Sacha and Rogério led the worship backed by Biba, Davi and Rogaciano.
It rained 5 mm at Green Pastures last night.
