Beyond the Grove, July 7, 2005

Hello again, BPC here! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I certainly enjoyed the long weekend. As expected, our Grove attendance was a little down Tuesday night due to the holiday but we had a great time of worship led by Summer Whatley and a message on self control by Stuart Davidson. Also, we had the Double Chuck milkshakes! If you missed one of those, you really missed out.
