Compass Check: Winter 2021

In this issue, you’ll get a little more info on how to give a truly apologetic answer to folks who ask about your faith. In addition, we’ll look at some things like what we can be thankful for, how we can encourage and include others, being a light to the world, dealing with illness and how to handle fear.

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, I pray you stay warm and the articles in this issue help you deal with the challenges of life, as well as encourage you for the future!
