“You will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
-Psalm 51:16-17
Planning for Lent

25 Jan 2017Thank you so much for this webinar! As Christian Educators we often do not have the time, or make the time, to hear ideas from others. I appreciate these opportunities to learn from other DCEs and always feel renewed and encouraged afterward. I would love to see more webinars on a variety of CE subjects in addition to seasonal topics. Again, thank you!
