A New Year's Update
Hello friends, supporters, and prayer warriors. Happy New Year from Cleveland. It has been a great fall and early winter in terms of our local ministries. The Thursday night gathering for teens and families has been bursting at the seams. This is the weekly activity we host at our house, a Bible study followed by a meal, sports, and crafts. Most who attend live in our near-west-side neighborhood and walk to Bible study. We are still going through the Bible one book at a time, and this Thursday we will be in Nahum: “ The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; he cares for those who take refuge in him ” (Nahum 1:7). Things are going well downtown, though we did lose another window to vandalism. The local news station did a nice piece on it and included words on the grace and forgiveness of God.
