Pastor Philip Gulley, a Quaker pastor who has been featured on Indiana’s PBS affiliate for his television show “Porch Talks,” challenges us to rediscover the values of Jesus.
He will serve as Preacher of the Week from July 9-13. His sermon for the 10:30 a.m. Hoover Community Worship Service on Sunday, July 9, “Fences,” is based on Matthew 11:28-30. This week is supported by the Hottenroth Family.
