Praising God in the Waiting
God is so good! Your prayers, support, and acts of kindness have meant more than words can express. We’re trusting in the Lord’s perfect timing and provision—and we believe He has a new liver for Tim. We continue to wait in faith. We’re thankful to share a few updates…

We’re spending a number of weeks in Wednesday’s Word reflecting on some of the all-time classic hymns of the faith. Why? Because God created us to be singing people. So, we should sing all the time. I can’t think of a better practice and discipline than to sing historic….
