Making Christ Known

April 23, 2023 – The 3rd Sunday in Easter

As we walk along our journey through life, Jesus walks by our side as he walked along he road to Emmaus. He asks us to tell him our story and waits for us to hare with what is deepest and most important to us. Having asked us to share our story with him, he walks by our side and listens.
