New Study Begins
February 24

The Prayers of Jesus led by Ellie Friesen. Prayer was the backbone of Jesus' life and ministry. From His baptism to His crucifixion, the Gospels portray Jesus as a man of prayer who knew and deeply valued intimate communion with His heavenly Father. What can we learn from the prayers He prayed?

Have you ever said the phrase, "make yourself at home?" Have you ever had anyone take you up on that offer? Did they eat from your fridge? Did they kick you out of your room and sleep there? Hospitality is more than opening our homes, it is about addressing the difference of power between the host and guest. How are Christians to address the hostility within hospitality?

How Do My Eyeglasses Get to Belize? 
You may have noticed the collection bins in the church or at local businesses to collect glasses and sunglasses. When your prescription changes or you just want a style change, you go to the optical shop and choose a new pair. It seems a shame to just throw away a pair in good condition that could benefit someone who cannot afford them.
