What a wonderful idea!!!!! Do you mind if I pass this one along to my Pastor? This is something that should definitely catch on.

Yea, it is a wonderful idea! How nice that is to do.

That's a great idea. I wish we could do something simple and easy like this.

What a great idea!! Such a beautiful church. Bowmanville is really a beautiful place.:)
