Now Google Reader has a brand new feature called Top Recommendations. It takes a look at your reader history and what you subscribe to [...]

This week launches a new sermon series at Romeo. With it we’re launching new imagery, new music, a bulletin redesign, and this video… all goes along with a very cool message series.
The general idea is, at the core, the gospel message. That we are born seperate from God and that God’s sending of Immanuel was [...]

It’s November 26th and the snow is coming down heavy in Romeo. It’s one of those pretty snows too, the kind that is hard to hate.
