The final stretch of that journey was marked by Palm Sunday, April 13 th , ushering us into Holy Week—a week-long culmination of reflection, devotion, and remembrance of Christ’s Passion. Our Easter morning worship was filled with beauty and praise! The sanctuary resounded with lovely singing voices, a wonderful Bell Choir, and the inspiring sounds of Lisa ’s piano and Bud ’s organ.

When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j...
