Hey, I am a reformed Pentecostal ex-mormon. First and foremost, the service was lovely and full of lovely people and so was the congregation. I just hope that none of them are going bald, as I have a gag reflex that occurs when I see "people" like that and I hope to join again next week. I found it extremely disheartening to see women with their hair cut, which goes against my beliefs (1 Corinthians 11:1-16). I realised though that I'm in a 7 day baptist church however, which stressed me out, cause I haven't been baptised on each day of the week yet, although I'm very close (I just have Monday and Thursday left). Please send your love and prayers to Paster Dusty, as he was missing the whole sermon, I don't know where he was, and I've heard "he" is going bald.

Hi! My name is Patty Bouchard. I have known some of these church members and Pastor Dusty and his wife Karen for many years. They help with feeding the homeless in the park and my friend told me I would love going there. I went there, got baptized and I just love it. I have an Autistic son, Ronnie, and he has known them all for years too. He is so comfortable and he rushes to get inside to listen to hear them all singing. It is so beautiful! I beleive, he listens to the words that Pastor Dusty speaks. Ronnie does not speak, but he understands a lot:) It is always a pleasure! We feel the love by all the members🤗💕
