We all prayed together with the other group. We split up into small groups to pray for Pastor Mark and his family, Thorncreek church, the community of South Holland, and Chicago in general. We had a blessed time worshipping and praying as one body in Christ!

Pruning Pelican

by Leah Johnson | June 25, 2024 1:10 PM

We’re doing several landscaping projects. Here’s an action shot that reminds us of these verses: ““I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.” John 15:1-3 CSB
