As part of our series in Joshua we took a moment to reflect on moments of God’s faithfulness in our lives. Our original foundation stone reminds us of a faithful people who trusted a faithful God in our early beginnings.

Each person was encouraged to write on the card and then take a small white stone as a physical reminder they could place in their home, so that they would remember. (Joshua 4:7)
