I designed an old hand written letter complete with wax seal and put a post mark in the upper right hand corner with a 4:4 in the center. This represents Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always”, which seems to be the verse that sums up the whole book. What

Women’s Meeting-Container Gardening – Ezekiel 17:8
Women’s Meeting-Container Gardening – Ezekiel 17:8 Friday I led a gardening workshop at LifeSpring Community Church, https://www.discoverlifespring.com/.

Sermon Sketchnotes : PS 8:3-4 Who is Man that You would care for him?
Sermon Sketch notes on Psalm 8:3-4. When you consider how AWESOME GOD is, it’s an overwhelming thought that HE would even care for us.

Happy Spring Eph 3:20
Sunday School Poster: Eph 3:20 So I think Spring might finally be arriving in St. Louis. I hear birds and my daffodils are blooming. They even survived the snow last week.

Bulletin Cover Easter John 3:16 For a lot of folks Easter is a time to dye eggs , and wake up to a cool Easter basket full of candy. But that all falls woefully short of the real reason we celebrate Easter. In doing this week’s bulletin cover, I decided to decorate my own egg and wrap it in truth about Easter.
