As we continue our Pride celebration, this week we are focusing on Jesus being our Strength and Healer. We will explore the actions of a woman who had a long-term medical condition and the result of her actions. How can we use her actions as a model for living today? Are her actions something we can apply to other aspects of our lives? Join us this Sunday as the Pride celebration continues!
