LETTER FROM STAFF

James Clapper | Project Admin
Happy (almost) Valentine’s Day! I’m not gonna lie, even as someone who is married, I find Valentine’s Day kind of a weird holiday. It feels like there are too many expectations from culture as to how one should celebrate the day. Anyway, I say this to encourage everyone in our community (single or in a relationship) to take a few moments on Valentine’s Day to simply think about what “true love” means (Romans 5:8, John 15:13, etc.)...then go buy some chocolate. |
