moments of uncertainty, it’s comforting to hold onto those things that remain steady and sure. As our world continues through the difficult pandemic ordeal, with all its ups and downs, God has enabled our church to move forward and has kept our ministries running strong. We have been blessed and protected in many ways, and…
When was the last time you asked, “Why?” Most of us won’t have to think too far back in our lives. Anytime something tragic happens, we want to know the reason behind it. For each twist in life doesn’t turn out the way we had hoped, we demand answers. Even when we know we are…

We need the promise of Spring’s renewal, refreshment and rebirth. Last year at this time our anticipation of Spring was met with disappointment and hardship as the pandemic’s weight fell across our community and nation.
