April 12, 2026
- Our theme for the month of April is “Wise men still seek Him”. The scripture reference is taken from Matthew 2:1-2 and it reads as such:
Matthew 2: 1 – Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2- Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
