Weekly Challenge -Emilie Quisenberry

Great job by Emilie on Saturday night.  God has provided us with many unique ways to encourage each other, build each other up, and challenge each other to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10 and 1 Thessalonians 5).  But one of my favorite channels of these actions is when we have members of our LG community teach and share with our group.

Go through the challenge from Emilie and be intentional in your purpose and in your roles.
