It is such a wonderful time of renewal. Renewal is a wonderful concept.  It infers revitalization and even restoration.  Deuteronomy 32:2 says “Let my teaching fall…

Good afternoon, Church Family, Over the last six weeks we have been looking at Lenten Poetry and local photography from our congregation.  This will be the last week our devotion will consist of these two components.   I know that many of you have sent in lots of photos and although I wasn’t able to use…

Good evening, Church family. Today’s art is brought to you by Chrissy Clark (frosty tree) and Blake Peters (golden sky).    Our poem is by a contemporary American poet, Mitch Chase.  I chose this poem because this Sunday is Palm Sunday.
