Are You Satisfied?

May 7th, 2023 – The Fifth Sunday of Easter

On the night that Jesus is arrested, Jesus shares final words with his disciples. As the one through whom God is known, he promised to go before them and act on their behalf. We are God’s chosen, holy people who continuously celebrate and declare the mercy of God we experience through Jesus Christ.
