Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Thank You’s All Around Thank you to the Stewards of the Land who had their second “clean up” day.

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Blessed Feast of Pentecost! Happy Birthday, Church! The Feast of Pentecost is often referred to as the birthday of the Church, since the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles to preach the Word of God.

No. Age is not directly proportional with holiness.
