Our Adult Choir is working on a wonderful cantata “A Song of Joy”! It is one of the best I’ve seen in a l long time! When the Apostle Paul listed the fruits of the Spirit, the first was love. Joy came next! That does not surprise me a bit! All of us crave to… Read More »
My dear husband David frequently reminds me that the heart of Christmas and the heart of Christianity can well be summed up in John 3:16.
