“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all.” Titus 2:11

Yes     
In this world where God creates with deep beauty and profound mystery.

In this world where so many yearn for
God’s healing and peace.

In this world where some have thought God has forsaken us:

Yes    
Here, in this world, the grace of God has appeared.

Not just in this world but for you.

Yes
For you, weary from trying to meet the expectations of others.
