It saddens me that you would put a person like Seth Gruber on the stage. I came back to your church after years of not going and this was the first service I come back to...full of hate and division. Pastor Robert I always admired the way you preached with love, understanding, and respect. Which is why I cannot believe you would put someone up there who would mock others with different POLITICAL views. You brought politics into the church today and that was not God's work. I am confident in my faith enough to know that the hate speech and mockery Seth gave today was not of God.

Church is a time for husbands and wives to become stronger TOGETHER. Not separated. If our baby was going to howl, I would take outside no problem.
How would single mothers or fathers connect with anyone if they are banished to the “Crying Room?” How would a stay-at-home parent fellowship? After they put in all of the work to feed, and bath, and clothe, their kids. Parents deserve the...
Read moreMy sister arrived with me 2nd time in many years: I showed pictures of certain items, like hats that she might want to see at the Thrift store and she find several items. Before that, we went to the bookstore to begin showing more of the West Campus. The Book store, through the Coffee Shop, Main chapel. Then passing the Mini chapel, we meet a woman carrying food for there Thanksgiving gathering. Then directly to the Thrift store learn they she found ear rings and hat. We left for the quite room in the Chapel: Sensitive of loud sounds. But, she requested to the Spanish service and stayed the service and we sat to have Thanksgiving with everyone. She said that she didn't understand what Pastor Robert was saying, whenever he changed topics and lost focus. I pray that my sister will join us again. In Jesus...
