Weekly Reflection

40 Days of Gratitude - 5th Week of Lent
03-26-2023Rev. Emmanuel I. IhemeduThis week, we will give thanks for the ways we do not live by bread alone (Matthew 4:4). When Jesus suggested that man cannot live by bread alone, he was really talking about Scripture, but it’s also true that we need more than carbohydrates to keep us healthy. This week, we are going to take a look at our favorite foods and give thanks for them.
Sun, Mar 26
