Overflow
Welcome to October! As JoyJam winds down and fall settles in, we’re encouraging YOU to let the JOY, the FAITH, and the MUSIC you enjoy to OVERFLOW!
This month we’re inspired by Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!”
We encourage you to join us each week as we center around a verse and other thoughts/questions to help walk you OVERFLOW!
