Temptations of Jesus


See you tonight or Sunday, and prepare to get that extra help in the old temptation department. We'll look in a new perspective, through different eyes, this Lent.

President's Day


Our presidents need much prayer during their tenure. This was Abraham Lincoln's prayer: "Oh, Thou God that heard Solomon in the night when he prayed and cried for wisdom, hear me. . . . I cannot guide the affairs of this nation without Thy help. Hear me and save this nation.'" Let us pray with our president today that God guide this nation to protect the innocent, guard the persecuted, and defend those who have been marginalized. Let us pray with our president for those without health care, for immigrants, and for those who need education.
