Huntington United Methodist Church

December 30 was the first Sunday after Christmas and the altar color is white.

Thought: God is love. We are not here to condemn and judge others and, God finds no joy in our failures and short comings. God's love never gives up, even though at times we may be tempted to give up on ourselves. I Corinthians 13:5.
