Pastor Janet Sees The Light

Pastor Janet Kreis delivered a rousing sermon Sunday,
remarking that she was now able to see her notes with
the new light on the podium shown here on the left.
Unfortunately, the audience had a difficult time looking
at her, as the light shined brightly in anyone's eyes attempting
