Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ

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 […]

*Call to Worship Lent began in the wilderness; it concludes in Jerusalem. We now come near to the end of one story. Another will soon begin.
