Last Wednesday at Refuge students spent a few minutes reflecting on little things that went right in their day. Posting one item per Post-It note, they mentioned over 125 different things that went right that day. As we shared those things I was overwhelmed by the goodness of our God.

In Luke 18 Jesus says that those who cry out night and day will have “speedy justice.” 2.

Give Finances to Adoptive Families or Help raise funds for Adoptive Families We have families in the LRC family who are considering adopting and you may also know families who are adopting.
