Video of the Week:

5SecondsApp

This is a video of I did with my girls.  This was not intentional but after I saw this I thought this could be a good gif.  Do you use gifs in your ministry?  I’m going to use this for a post on community and togetherness.  It’s a little silly but millennials love this stuff 🙂

I use the app “5sGIF” and it works well here and on places like Facebook and Twitter.  Give it a try.  If you like this gif, feel free to take it and use it for your ministry.
