In worship, we ask for God to enrich the acts of faith, hope, and charity so we can bridge the gaps among the members of our community. We ask that God help us love the commands and direction God gives us, so we may be better representatives of God on the earth. Our Hebrew Scripture […]
In worship today we were served the reminder that God’s glory was provided to all creation in the person of Jesus. Through the coming of Jesus we have been equipped to works of mercy, patience in community, and perseverance in relating God’s message of hope with others.
