Grateful for Spokane

Thu., March 30, 2017

I moved to Spokane last summer from Central Washington, and I absolutely love this city! People here are friendly, active and seek to grow personally. Within just a few short minutes, I can be wandering around Riverside State Park, then go enjoy our fabulous downtown, with Riverfront Park, the entertainment district and many local businesses. And while everlasting hope is found in Christ alone, I would argue there is a lot more that is good about Spokane than just the Zags - but they are great!
