[Faith-talk] Getting Dragged to Church

[Ericka]

Glad you had a good experience in church too Melissa.  Agree with you on the importance of dressing up. I hate doing it and I do it more as an adult. It was never instilled in me that you couldn't go to church if you weren't dressed up though. What's in your heart party please is more important than what is outside.
