May Feast hot rods, BBQ and polka band headed to Nordheim

God first...Heavenly Father, there are times when our faith is weak and troubled. We are confused and unable to reach out with proper words as we wander aimlessly. We ask for strength and direction while all the time we know that we need to rely on Your Amazing Grace. We know Your Son suffered so we may be saved. Help us, as He reveals his last days, to understand the true meaning of Lent. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 03/19/2025 12:38 PM
