St. John's Weekly Reminders, July 26
Today we welcome to our pulpit The Reverend Mr. Mike Karim. He serves with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) among the International Students and Graduate Students at Rice University and the University of Houston. Although this might break with tradition: Reverend Karim asks that you call him “Mike.”
