Good morning Church Family Psalm 37:23-24 says “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” As Christians, God asks us to take the narrow road rather than the more easier wide one.

Wednesday, 2 September 2020 – The Faithful Few
Good morning Church Family Today in my quiet time I was reading the account in Jeremiah of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians.
