But now? The congregation is big. We’re gonna build a church. Faith is high, even If the choir is still trying to find some of the notes.

We’re going to have good years & bad years but the thing that will define us is our ability to remain UNITED throughout. #MNUFC

“We’re gonna build a church”. You can find us in the pews, Nick. (or are we the choir?)
