I love God deeply. I screw up, let people down, fail at many things, and am a hypocrite. I’ve messed up. This is a fact. So thankful for the “streams of mercy never ceasing that call for songs of loudest praise!” I strive to live for the One thing that matters in this life that is Jesus Christ.

Hey Marissa,
Thanks for the follow on our Wilmington Vineyard Twitter account. It seems like you are active and busy out in Colorado! If you’re ever back home in DE visiting the peeps, we’d love to have you join us at our church! We are big on finding a way for people in and around Wilmington to learn about and experience God.
We have services at 4:30 pm currently at Warner Elementary School by Brandywine Zoo. If you were to describe our worship service to someone, I’d probably say it was laid back in dress, fun in style, focused in worship, and accessible in culture. Bless you in your Sunday and hope to talk again soon! May your blog enable you and many others to experience God more fully this week!

Thanks for the info…I had no idea there was a Vineyard church in Wilmington. Just might have to visit when I’m back East in August!
