Love, Joy, Peace...
People are our hearts; Jesus is our message
Welcome to Albany Park Baptist Church
Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that. Ephesians 5 v 1-2
