Congratulations to our sister church in Ozark, Riverbluff Fellowship. They had their first service in their new building on Evans Road this morning! Their pastor is Scott Watson, who was my from 8th grade on. He married Jenny and I and has been a huge friend and mentor to me over the years. Congratulations Riverbluff! We are excited about your new home and ministry to your new neighbors!
