Next Sunday begins a new series of messages with the exciting theme, Love Can Build a Bridge. Marilyn Wilsch suggested it to me after hearing the song by that title sung by the Judds. After thinking and praying about it and looking at the kinds of messages needed for our winter calendar, I decided it was just the right series for this time between the New Year’s messages and the beginning of our Lenten emphasis in March. Shaun and Mystical Harrington, father—daughter duet, will be singing the theme song for us. One of our drama props folks is making a sturdy bridge to be the focus of the platform décor for the series.
