Reign of Christ Sunday

11/22/2020

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

11/8/2020

 
Well, we gather here each and every Sunday, to express our gratitude to God, and to hear the teachings of Jesus so that we may more fully follow in his steps and in his way of life.

More than 2000 years later, they are still relevant in our lives today. ​

It's a day of celebration. ​
