 Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?

You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up,

you still them.

- Psalm 89

Who was your favorite teacher growing up?  Mine is Jesus.

Read chapter 24 of The Story about this extraordinary man and you will be blessed.

See you Sunday. I can’t wait.

A Note from Nancy Kraft

Dear friends in Christ,

A short note of thanks for all the prayers of love and caring given to me and my family as I had surgery. Thanks too for the great meals provided…we do have some good cooks! Praise God for the talented doctors as I now can feel my legs! God IS good…all the time.  God's got this and you!
