May we all learn a little more of what it means to Seek After God's Heart. This week we explore how God Looks at the Heart.

Randy tells some of his story this week, as we all learn a few questions we can ask if we're to tell our stories in the midst of God's story.

Do our stories matter? Can our stories help and inspire others? The answer is simply “Yes,” They do matter and they can inspire others! And they will.

oin Rev. Grace Wulff as she gives us a reflection for Palm Sunday. “Are we almost there yet?” We smile at that sentence, for we might remember ourselves as children on what seemed like a long trip and we would be asking “Are we almost there?” What was it like for Jesus to hold the tensions He has to that Holy Week.
