Love, Share & Serve in Christ!

"There are two equal and opposite
errors into which our race can fall about the devils.
One is to disbelieve in their existence.
The other is to believe, and
to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.
[The devils] themselves are equally pleased by both errors
and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight."
- C.S. Lewis

Learn about the Devil and his chief Enemy with us this weekend!
