[Worship] Fw: Guest Speaker & Musician for June 3rd?

[Suzyn Mills]

Sounds very interesting to me. I love positive messages, as the world is
too full of really depressing ones currently. Kinda depends on the cost,
though. But then again, we haven't spent our budgeted amount anyway this
year. I'd say go for it is the price isn't outrageous.
