The editor of Empower magazine attended our WMS Observance Sunday worship services on August 31, 2014 at Metropolitan. Our WMS President Michelle Mathis and I learned after the service that evening, that the editor was impressed with the service and especially the CGR story, the DVD/photographs and how the project originated. We are reminded of Hebrews 13:2 “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” We become mindful that, “you never know who’s watching you (and listening)”. That being said---the story has been featured in the Fall issue of the Empower magazine----currently online and the printed version to come. The online version was published this week and we are forwarding the link for your convenience in reading and sharing. We will be notified when the Fall issue of Empower Magazine featuring the print article is published.
