Rev. Godette shares:  “I am really concerned about current events:  what is going on in our world, country, state, and yes, our community?

I have had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with the people to whom I have been assigned.  With everyone, the conversations have the same theme, ‘I am scared, what is going to happen?’ As I sought direction on how I can encourage them, the answer I received was Just Smile.

The words of encouragement, Just Smile, is the theme of my message.”
