"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
MATTHEW 28:18-20 (RSV-CE)

Veterans Celebration
Veterans Day Celebration: Do you have a veteran in your family? We’d love to invite them to a special evening in their honor on Wednesday, November 5 at 6:40 PM. There will be no regular PSR classes that night, as this will take the place of class. This year’s event will look a little different than in the past. Veterans won’t be asked to speak; just come and let us celebrate you! We’ll also have some light refreshments afterward. Please fill this out for each veteran attending: https://forms.gle/CqZi85k4rJSnhSCj6
