Notes From the Pastor
Praying for Children
Karen Allore shared this with our families this week. It is a powerful reminder of how we can minister to our kids through prayer! “Children are a precious gift from God. So, when the challenges of life come along, it’s easy to fear for their futures. But praise God, we have the gift of praying […]
