Worship guide for March 26, 2023
Preparation for Worship
”All of us, at some time or another need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors - in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.” -Fred Rogers
“Jesus is talking about a manner of living here, and it’s one that isn’t motivated out of the fear of hell or the hope of heaven, but a life that’s driven by an authentic love.” - Rick Morley
