PPC meets at eVP's House

But so shall it not be among you:
but whosoever will be great among you,
shall be your minister:
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest,
shall be servant of all.
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

"prepare the way of the Lord,

make straight His paths.
Every valley shall be filled
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The winding roads shall be made straight,
and the rough ways made smooth,
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
