Reflection on the Crosses by Terri Connolly sticky icon

Our advent book, Child of the Light, spoke to my aching heart with a reading about "One Who Comforts Us -- Israel's strength and consolation". I truly needed it, for I returned home from a funeral visitation heavy with sorrow.

 

Recently a young African American man was shot and killed on the streets of Louisville; was it #66 or 67?  The number itself doesn't matter but the fact that there is even one does. His name is Joseph and he was just 21 years old.

My Faith Story by Jim McBee

My name is Jim McBee and I am a sinner saved only by the grace of a loving God. I cannot tell you my entire faith story in the 2-3 minutes that I have this morning! So you’re only going to get the Introduction and the First Chapter today. You’ll have to buy the book for the rest of the story!

My Faith Story and Journey by Bill Ockerman

Six years ago I would have never thought I would be standing here sharing my faith story, because for me that's when I thought my faith story and journey had ended.

 

As a child, I spent a lot of time in church. I grew up in a small Methodist church in Nelson County and a lot of my social life revolved around church. My parents always made sure that my sister and I were at church on Sunday morning and night. I really didn't mind going to church but it always bothered me that I didn't get to watch Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color on Sunday nights!! It seemed like I was the only kid that had to miss that program. I was always so glad when church was cancelled for some reason just so I could watch that show.
