Sorry I missed it too! However, LCUUC's sermons are recorded and accessed
through our website. I don't see this one posted yet, but I'm sure it will
be! Can't wait to drop in on Mark- thanks for the open invitation. My
childhood home was nicknamed "grand central station" since we had drop-ins
all the time:) Lynne
