Joseph and His Amazing…Response: Forgotten
November 16, 2025 We’re in our sermon series about Joseph-not Joseph from the Christmas story! He’s Joseph from the Old Testament, who has 11 brothers and one sister. He was his father’s favorite!

October 15, 2023 This week it’s horrible to listen to the news about Israel: so many civilians are dead.
