Joe Lopez, Sr., pastor of our Spanish-speaking church Espiritu De Dios, speaks on the topic "How Great Thou Art."

For Mother's Day, we were privileged to have a special speaker join us: Mari Anne Andersen, Director of Freedom House. She reminded us that God our Father also loves us in a way that is often thought of as a maternal kind of love--a love we all desperately need.

Fathers. It can be complicatedWhat comes to mind when you think of your father? Do you have wounds?

Sometimes in life it's easy to count our blessings, but in challenging times, we may feel that there's not much to be thankful for.
