POSSIBLY THE BEST WEEKEND OF YOUR LIFE!!
About Mission: One Another - Paul's letter to the people of Philippi gives us a clear insight into what it looks like to love one another. With Jesus’ Greatest Commandment as the foundation, this weekend walks through the book of Philippians and looks at four ways we can love one another well, each with challenges practical ways to take these truths home.
