It’s Friday, but more importantly it’s Good Friday!

Today is the day Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice and went to the cross for you, and me. He’s the reason we all get to spend eternity in Heaven, and this weekend we get to celebrate Easter!

How many of you are taking tonight to spend with your families at Good Friday service? Do you have family traditions or plans for Easter? We’d love to hear about them ☺️💛

Happy Wednesday! How is your week going? What have you been reading this week?

This week’s theme is heroes and we wanted to highlight a few in our community. To kick us off, we have a video of Jay Thornton, who is a 911 dispatcher and volunteer firefighter in Jackson! Jay is reading one of his favorite books from his childhood.

We thank you for your service, Jay!!
