"our Heavenly Mother"--and no, I don't mean Mary!!

Have any of you guys heard of this:
WATV - WORLD MISSION SOCIETY CHURCH OF GOD

It's really weird. A couple in Wal-Mart followed me around for a while, then gave me pamphlet about this...
It's pretty much about God being Father/Mother (as opposed to Father/Son/Holy Spirit); You have to keep the "Passover" to be saved; and somewhere on the website I saw that they believe that when Jesus was dying on the cross, he was merely teaching us how to atone for our own sins... (The pamphlet really only talked about the "passover".)

They were very friendly. My husband and I talked to them for a while in the store. They know basically what we believe, but still want us to visit their church. I am not good at making decisions under pressure (I was talking to the lady, and my husband was busy with her husband), and I really want to share the the TRUE gospel with them in greater detail...so I exchanged numbers with her. I was kind of thinking that maybe we could invite them to our church...and maybe God would open their hearts to the truth....

By the way...I am also very burdened for two young men (about 19 or 20ish) who are Mormons and live down the street. They came to our door about a week ago (while my husband was at work), and I talked outside with them for about 20 minutes (I wish I could've been more helpful to them, but I had 4 kids to get back to!!). They're just so young, and very respectful, very soft-spoken...and, frankly, it didn't seem to me like they even wanted to be doing that (going door to door), but who knows--maybe I'm just more naive than I think I am...Anyway, they asked if we needed any lawn care or anything, and I said no, but after they left, I thought well, maybe they could come over and cut the grass every now and then, and maybe we could plant a couple of seeds of truth into their minds here and there...and maybe God would cause the growth..... I told my husband about it on the phone, and when he drove up, they were walking by again, and he went up and asked them their names (they told me, but I have the worst memory in the world). I don't know what will come of that either...but may the will of the Lord be done!

ok, I guess I'm rambling and getting slightly

--but I'll bet my title grabbed your attention!

Any prayer would be greatly appreciated....
I guess I should go to the prayer section, I mean department, I mean thread??
