Trinity Cathedral Cleveland

God showed me in my palm a little thing round as a ball about the size of a hazelnut...I wondered how it could survive since it seemed so little and it could suddenly disintegrate into nothing. The answer came: "It endures and ever will endure because God loves it." And so everything has being because of God's love.

Wednesdays, May 1 & 8  7:30 p.m. 

Think there are no Bible stories about women? You'd be wrong if you do. Women played decisive roles during the thousands of years covered by the sacred text narrative.
