The Gift

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 21, 2023

• Do the holidays break you out of your routine? • Do you go into a holiday traditional? • Lisa often says our tradition is that we have no tradition!

Epiphany - A Bright Idea

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Dec 26, 2024

An examination of epiphany through the visit of the magi to the toddler Jesus. Their gifts stimulate us to living out our Christian lives in this new year by living holy lives that glorify God.
