THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life...Grace is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow him; it is grace because Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

FROZEN YOGURT FUNDRAISER
Enjoy a treat from Yogli Mogli at Virginia and Highland today, April 23 anytime from 12 noon to 9 p.m. in order to support the preschool.
