He Uses It All - BIG and small!
A glimpse inside what’s going on in the lives of those at FBC. How God is working in us and through us as we intentionally look for His grace in our lives each day. And then intentionally showing His love to those around us….whether it’s in a different country or right here in our community. He uses it all-BIG and small!
