Children and the Church
13People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. 14But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God […]

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
We’ve journeyed with Simon Peter through Jesus’ ministry all through Lent. Some of us have fasted, giving up things we enjoy, while others have taken on extra acts of kindness to prepare us for this moment.

Palm Sunday, Pretzels and The Passion
Two-thousand+ years ago, Jesus rode a donkey triumphally into Jerusalem to the acclaim of the crowds.

After […]
