Our pews are much too empty during these days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sight of them gave Cindy Maser an idea and a most unusual thing happened last weekend. “In these increasingly difficult and sad times, we felt a little fun might help!” Pastor Mueller said. “So while we cannot get to church these days, my good friends Larry the Lamb and Leroy the Lion invited a few of their friends to come by.”

Stare some more at both men, one having at his hand the power of empire; the other whose power was made perfect in weakness.”

Even back then, now was too late.
