Why are we on earth? Our Mission and Message

-
Our mission here on earth is to reach out with genuine kindness and care to all people, young and old, white and black, poor and rich - welcoming them warmly into our community of faith. Our message is that death does not have the last word.

Hope is real.

God is alive.

For Christ has destroyed the powers of darkness and death and brought us into a new and immortal life with him. In our weekly worship and daily devotions, our Lord fills us anew with the joy and peace and purpose which can be found nowhere else.


- An excerpt from "The Saving Passion", Inspiration from Henri J.M. Nouwen

Be moved to share the great news that hope is real and God is alive!

Before you read the Bible, pray this prayer

Heavenly Father, I am so excited to dedicate this time to you today. I pray that the eyes of my heart will be open as I spend time in your word and I ask for total focus while I read. May I be filled with the didactic spirit that allows me to immerse myself in the word, and discover those hidden messages that will be a blessing to me by revealing who you are and your calling for me.  You said in your word that I shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, let this word be food to my soul and victual for my spirit. As I go through my day, I pray that this word shall not depart from my mouth, instead, I will meditate on it day and night so that I may be careful to do what I have read for then I will be prosperous and successful.  Thank you, Father, for access to this wonderful word that is a guide for my life.   In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Don't allow small storms to cause you to uproot. Even a tree struck by lightening finds a way to provide life again." An Explanation:  I hope that you see the crown (top) of the tree as your crown .   You are royalty. True princes and princesses. The tree trunk represents your body .  Your earthly vessel. Remember you are a spiritual being experiencing a human experience rather than a human that has spiritual experiences. The tree branches or the "arms" represent your life situations or the years of your life .  The under-branches or the branches that grow out from the larger tree branches represent your life lessons .  The months, day, or time periods in your life. If you were to take a look back at each one of the years of your life, would you be able to write down all the lessons that

New Heights

A Sky. Broad and Boundless. A place where only things with wings can soar. To Fly. There's always a destination and a purpose. Birds to migrate. Planes to travel. Angels to deliver blessings. Even fish try to fly sometimes.
