Charles Warner|Daily Times This sign reminds us that in God's eyes it's not how much we score or achieve or gain inlife that matters most because all the worldly things we accumulate will be lost to us when we die. What matters most to God and what should matter most to us is how we play the game, the kind of life we live, how we treat each other and whether or not Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Union Seventh-Day Adventist Church is located at 1437 Jonesville Highway.
