Jesus is the Way to God


Grace to you and Peace in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  

I would like thank David Rawlings for sharing the word with us this morning. We heard this morning that Jesus Christ is our connection to God.  And because of that we must believe and be connected to Christ.  But it also means that we must share this truth with the world.  

Peace and Blessings, 

Pastor Rachel B. Livingston 
Cheltenham UMC
