I have an invitation especially, but not only, for the members of Swanton Alliance Church.

One practical way that you can help is by buying and sending some books their direction. Below is a list of desired books sent to me by a member of their faculty.

NEW Swanton Alliance Church Facebook Page

I know, I know. I already started a facebook page for Swanton Alliance Church. But I found out that it has some limited capabilities, and I don't like limits. So I started another one with the capacities I want. We'll only lose a few wall posts--I already imported the discussions to the new page, and we hadn't uploaded pictures or anything yet.

If this code works correctly (cross your fingers!), you should be able to access it from this:



And now the test... Does it work or not?
