Acts 10:  You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.
Colossians 3:  If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
John 20:  They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.

It is the way we measure our riches that will determine the quality of our lives.

Housing Forward has scheduled the Point-in-Time (PIT) count of the homeless in Dallas and Collin County for the night of January 26, 2023.  At this web site https://housingforwardntx.org/volunteer/, Housing Forward asks for Care Packages for the homeless. These packages will be given out when volunteers are doing their annual count in January.  If anyone would like to contribute a package or so, Carolyn Bentley, would be happy  to pick up the package for delivery on or before the 14th.  Her number is 214.789.2034.  Thanks!
