Dear Ebenezer Family,

Greetings to you all in Jesus’ name! I trust that all is well with every one of you and your families. The Hill household has expanded and has increased in energetic output, with the addition of four (Keinon, Zsai, Cairo and Saint a Labradoodle), and I am pleased as pink lemonade. However, I request prayer for energy and strength (perhaps some renewed strength). All that to say, we are doing well too.

Unfortunately, I must announce the loss of another m

Dear Ebenezer Family,

The Executive Leadership Team met this week, and agreed upon June 27, 2021, as our first sanctuary worship since COVID19 restricted our in-person worship, and imposed restrictions on our personal lives that most of us have never experienced before. As a church family, we have experienced loss, but we have also experienced the grace of God throughout this period. We learned how to employ tools that enabled us to worship, to attend Sunday School and Bibl

What have you learned from “The Ticking Watch?” It is so true that sometimes, if not most times these days that we need to sit down, keep quiet, and soon we will hear the voice of God speaking in our souls. Psalm 37 is one of the many Psalms that
