Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters,
I pray you were as blessed by our time together as I was. It is always such a joy to gather around the Lord's Table to be reminded of God's great grace lavished on us in Christ. We are a couple of weeks away from Resurrection Sunday. Take time to share grace with a neighbor this week and invite them to join us.
I look forward to celebrating with you!
