DEAR FRIENDS
The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Phil 4:6)
This issue, we share more about the Holy Spirit to remind us that He is near. The current situation may leave us feeling unmoored and discouraged, but we pray that you find encouragement and fuel for your journey here!
People of God, let us move onward in faith!
In God’s Love,

This same invitation is once again presented to us this Pentecost Sunday and is subsequently available to us each and every single day of our lives. – Bryan Francisco
