ICRC Stories: Because we have all been challenged to tell our stories of God’s love and faithfulness in our lives, we would like to point out to you that some of our ICRC family members have already began telling theirs. On July 22, Mike J interviewed with Joey South to tell some of his. To hear Mike’s story, please click on the link provided. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFgyg8uCo0&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2lG9lNmcTqg8TKr1fVDGyz4TverAu_kqYxuHoa1xKN52TlaNMXnp4hB_U.
We Would Like to Encourage You to Share Your Story as Well: To do so, please contact Joey S for an interview, or if you would prefer to write it down instead, you can send it to the church office at office@icrclansing.org to be shared on our “God’s Love in Action” page. Remember, your story is God’s story, and we would love to hear you tell it!
