by Mike Wright
The following children's messages were recorded from 2008-9,2012, during the pastorate of George Potter. These moments were always early in the recorded service which resulted in some of the recordings missing the beginning...but the message still comes through. Click on the date to hear the recording. The time (in parentheses) is the length of the recording.
