Weekly E-Pistle: "Making Miracles" - Sunday at Douglas UCC

5/24/2019

Sunday's gospel reading (John 5:1-9) is all about the miraculous healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda. Are there really such miraculous places of healing?  Come join us this Sunday as we explore the miracles in the gospels, and how we can, too, can experience miracles in our own lives.  Special music by Elizabeth Estes.
