“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.” Joel 2:12-13 |

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Lynne Warne “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!” (Matthew 20:18-19) As I write this, I am preparing for a trip to Israel and Jordan that has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. My husband and I will be on a Max Lucado-led tour of the Holy Land from February 27-March 10. We are both excited and humbled to be walking where Jesus walked, especially during Lent. Read more |
