Pastor Cathy Nutting,
Pastor VMUMC
It is so easy during the summer months to drift away from the practices and habits that give our lives direction, purpose and meaning. It is in Christ Jesus that we find our true identity and purpose. And it is through the gift of Christ's own Spirit, poured into our hearts as God's gift of grace, that we are gathered into the body of Christ, the church to do good.
