WELCOME TO WORSHIP!

Meditation Thought for Worship: There is both light and darkness in the world. The light is the light of God’s love, which was embodied by Jesus and can shine through us. Darkness can’t overcome it, but there is still dark corners out there that need the healing light of life and truth to shine into. So we must recognize both God’s light and the dark places that need it.
