    We continue to turn the tables on our understanding   Luke 22  The Festival of Thin Bread, also called Passover, was near. 2 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus, because they were afraid of what the people might do. 3 Then temptation entered the heart…

  • Kids Korner: Palm Sunday (April 10th)

    Read Luke 19:28-40 with your family. Sometimes we have to think about Jesus in opposites, and this story is a good place to start: Everyone was expecting Jesus to enter Jerusalem as a mighty king, Jesus really came as someone humble and did not claim earthy power. A king would enter the city on a…

  • Kids Korner: Mary of Bethany (April 3rd)

    Read John 12:108 with your family. Have you ever heard on the news or around town, people saying we shouldn’t help people we don’t know, those in other countries for example, we should help those here at home?

  • Lenten Study: The Letters of Paul

    In week four of our study, we look at the letters to Philemon and the Philippians. Philemon is essentially a private letter intended to be read aloud, forcing Philemon to do Paul’s bidding, as it would show a lack of social grace to refuse. We have no idea what the issue was between Philemon and…
