Consequences of the Cross

March 5 to April 20

We feel guilty because of what we have compared to others. Or we feel powerlessness to make a difference, given the size and severity of the world’s problems. These are two of the many obstacles we face in feeling motivated to get involved in missions and service. But the reality is that the cross has vanquished both guilt and powerlessness. Join us in delving into the consequences of the cross.
