Lights of Resurrection

We all have a story to tell. In the Christian tradition, faith stories (or 'testimonies') are shared as a way of encouraging each other in the faith, and as an expression of gratitude towards our loving God. Below you'll find blog posts from members of Church of Resurrection. We hope you will be inspired by these faith stories. Please contact us if you have any questions or if you'd like to contribute to this blog.
