Dear Friends,

This week is the culmination of all that our brother Jesus came to say and do and be in this world. He left us a clear path to follow.

Hopefully, you can be with us on one or both days to celebrate and be grateful. If time with family doesn’t allow, we know you are with us in spirit.

Blessings, peace and much love,

Pastor Kathy
