The Grace of God

Oh, most gracious Lord! You are eternal, unfathomable; mighty beyond measure! You have created all things and this complex universe is the work of Your hands.

The session lasts for about an hour, and we sing traditional hymns, pray, and listen to Sarah and Heather speaking about Jesus and the Bible.

He’s Just a Prayer Away

If you’ve never been to Westminster Cathedral in London, I would highly recommend a visit. It’s a beautiful building, filled with the presence of God.
