Coffee Break: See The Beauty

We Need A Savior
Today just like on the day Jesus came into town on a donkey we shout, Hosanna! We recognize we need you. Many of us have not felt a need for you until this virus made us realize that we’ve been governed by fear and death. We humble ourselves and acknowledge that we are nothing without…

Counting The Savior’s Fingers And Toes
I have been thinking about Mary and baby Jesus recently. How did it feel to hold him close knowing who he was? As I began pondering these things the birth of Jesus started to come alive in different ways. Other things came to my mind as well. Since God chose Mary and Joseph to be…
