Pastor's Ponderings: Old Testament bible study of Psalm 43 (January 15, 2026)

This is the day we lift up the entry of the Wise Men into the life of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, providing them with the means to escape the coming life trials of Herod's action to destroy all the young children in, and around, Bethlehem. It is only through the gifts of the Ma

January 5, 2026: Monday Bible Study on Acts 10:1-8 Good morning my dear friends in Christ. I pray that your Christmas and New Years celebrations were times of joy for you and your family and friends. We had 16 for Christmas lunch and desserts, and 11 for homemade potato leek soup and split pea and ham soup on New Year's Day.
