Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ

For this week’s greeting, I thought it would be nice if we could all pray this prayer together. The power of our praying together on Sunday morning is awesome, and something I am sure we all miss. Pray this prayer daily and thank God for our church and church family as well as for whom […]

Instead, Jesus humbly entered Jerusalem to give […]

Traci came up with the excellent idea of bundling the palms together, attaching a prayer, and placing them in a basket outside of our church. Great! (Remember, even though this was Traci’s […]

We have followed Jesus this far; today we remember how he faced betrayal, falseness, rejection, and torment. And we witness, once more, that he taught and walked in love […]
