A Letter from Pastor Anita: More Than Just a Meal
on July 28th, 2020

But then think of what many of us eat for breakfast… caffeine… carbs… processed sugar… One has to wonder about the health aspects of our most important meal. I would like to suggest that perhaps there is another meal that holds a more vital place in the life of those who follow Jesus- the Lord’s Supper. John Calvin wrote that the two mar... Read More
