Introduction

Welcome, beloved brethren, to another beautiful day that the Lord has made. We gather here today, not as mere individuals, but as a family united under the banner of Christ's love and grace. We come together, not as perfect beings, but as humble recipients of God's mercy, seeking to understand His word and grow in our faith.
