"Abba" 

Mark 14: 32-42

In today's Bible story, we learn about names for God.  When Jesus goes to the garden to pray, he calls out, "Abba, Father." Jesus goes to God with his fears and doubts, and you can approach God this way too.

Today's Blessing:

Dear Abba,

Thank you for being an example of a loving parent. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years & Kinder to 5th Grade
