Prayer and Praise - April 2023

Jesus endured the suffering, died on the cross, and rose again! During April this will once again be commemorated in a special way by the Church of Christ. What a blessing: Salvation is possible because of His saving work on the cross. Furthermore we must remember: We serve a living Saviour! Praise His Name.
