What Are We Supposed to Believe?
Many years ago a man was arrested by the local authorities even though he’d done nothing wrong. He was accused of treason, and at the time, treason was punishable by an excruciating death.

Christmas on a Sunday
This is one of those years — it happens once or twice each decade — when Christmas falls on a Sunday. We have decided to put all our efforts this year into our popular Christmas Eve services, rather than asking families to come out again on Christmas morning.
