TEACHING

Apr. 21:  RUTH:  While everyone in Israel looked to the Judges to save them, God prepared to save the world through a young, widowed foreign girl named Ruth. This story is about more than loss and love. It reminds us that God is at work all around us and in the smallest ways – if we will pay attention.
