Mike Evans - "Radiant Disciple of Christ"

Mike Evans did his internship at CUCC prior to taking a church in Pennsylvania in 2010. Before Mike left, he gave a sermon at CUCC on July 18, 2010, and requested that Lavon record it. He used this video recording of that sermon in his job search among Pennsylvania UCC churches.
