Do you ever have trouble making it to church on Sunday? If you think about it, Sundays are a day that we normally use our time to rest and recoup after a long work week. We’ve all been there where when Sunday morning rolls around and we find ourselves tired, having a strong desire to
From Nov. 11th -13th, a group of 12 of us from my church had the privilege to drive 6 hours away to provide disaster relief to the displaced people of Noto Peninsula! After a 7.5 magnitude earthquake shook and destroyed their homes and lives on January 1st, 2024, the people and city there are still
