Happy 4th of July Weekend to everyone! As we celebrate the gift of FREEDOM, may we be guided by God’s Holy Spirit to use this gift well. FREEDOM properly understood is not the ability to do whatever we want, but truly to choose God’s will and build each other up in the Lord.

As we follow the way of Jesus as Christian disciples, the road to conversion is never easy. Our journey always involves the cross. We are constantly called to enter in his passion, and death, only so that we may rise to new life in Him.
