The Memory Keeper of Kyiv by Erin Litteken

Through the Year with John Wesley Text Group
Facilitators: Pastor Steve and Pastor Jake
Join Pastor Steve and Pastor Jake in exploring the daily readings in the book Through the Year with John Wesley. This group will connect through text messages for support and encouragement throughout the year. A deeply spiritual man of high integrity and indomitable character, Wesley strove to present great Christian truths to the non-churchgoing masses of England throughout the 1700s, making a powerful impact upon the nation; the like of which has rarely been felt since. Each daily reading is a pure extract from Reverend John Wesley's prolific output as an intelligent, thoughtful and passionate writer. Married to appropriate verses of Scripture and a daily prayer, the words he left behind carry an ancient power.

Love Your Neighbor Walk: Widening the Table
