- Thanks for the invite. It looks fun. It might actually get me looking into the scriptures more. Who knows, maybe I'll even have something to add once in a while.
Hope you don't mind. I sent the invite to our visitation pastor. He is a retired second career guy. he does visitation, teaching, and preaches once a month for us. He is currently interiming at Zion, West Jefferson.
