This week’s text: Luke 24:13-35

Listen to last week’s sermon on Ephesians 4:1-16 HERE

This past Sunday after service, many members from our congregation wrote letters to Syrian refugees. These letters of encouragement–letters that let the refugees know that people have not forgotten their situation–will be delivered to refugees along the route from Syria to Europe by a partnering church. Thank you to all of you who participated!
