I attended the event yesterday evening "Standing Together against persecution of Christians" and was overwhelmed at the numbers in attendance (I would guess around 400 or more) of Jewish people and Christians joined together in a common cause.

ALIVE (Natalie Grant)

On Friday, Jesus Christ bore the sin of the world and died on a cross to save us... His followers were left with no leader and no hope. But 3 days later, the stone was rolled away and his tomb found empty. Death has lost and LOVE is victorious! He is Risen!

Take time this weekend to reflect on how relevent this sacrifice is today. He is Risen indeed!

Praying for Rock the River!

Last night I was at the National House of Prayer for a prayer strategy meeting for Rock the River (Sept 29 and 30) in Ottawa.  The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada has said, RtR is the largest Evangelical outreach event in Canada this year and it’s happening in our backyard!  Wow!  As we know, this is also a call to pray, pray and pray!

Ash Wednesday

The season of Lent starts today.  I didn’t grow up in a Christian home {praise God that my entire immediate family is now Christian!} so the practice of Lent was never discussed.  I’ve been following Christ for 4 ½ years & I am now just starting to understand the importance & excitement of Lent.  It gives our hearts and minds 40 days to prepare for Easter and when Easter comes we are ready to celebrate!
