Jesus said

"I am the Light of the World"

With our continued reopening, we are so very thankful that our prayer candles are now available again.

Christians have been praying by the light of candles since our beginnings. The flickering of the candle flame comforts us, welcoming in a sense of calm and serenity. Jesus said "I am the Light of the World." May the light of the candles remind us of His promise.
