“I love to tell the story” was the theme of his visit, and of his sermon. He talked of the various ways Jesus’ story touched people in scripture – and now touches us. And when Jesus’ story meets the story of another, a new story is created.

The offering, which was designated for Refugee Services of Texas, raised more than $4,300.
