GOOD FRIDAY

As today is Good Friday we will hold church services and prepare for Easter Sunday. This is the most important event in Christianity, the most important time in the Christian calendar. Without the death and resurrection of Jesus, we would not have the living God; we would be like many other religions left with only remains, not a relationship.

As we begin Passion Week, let us spend our time thanking God for all the blessings He has given, but above all the promise of eternal life through His son Jesus Christ.

Hello : My name is Phil. I'm on medical stress leave from a job that destroyed my life and my faith. Since I've been off work, the Lord has restored my faith.

I've been looking for another job, but haven't found one yet. When April 1st arrives, I was planning on resigning from my job and trusting God to provide for my wife and I.
