Sunday Reflection (July 17, 2022)
In the bond of love God has reconciled us to God and one another. We have become part of something far larger than ourselves (Colossians 1:20-28).

Let us pray that our lives be a reflection of Christ’s life: Merciful God, you gave your only Son to be both a sacrifice for sin and an example of godly life. May we gladly receive all that he has done for us and follow in his footsteps being led by the Holy Spirit. Amen. […]
