Shepherd 2-12-2023 Happy new year!!!!

If you were with us on Sunday, I mentioned “imprecatory” Psalms.  This Sunday’s Psalm – 35 – is the first example that we will study.  What’s an imprecatory Psalm, and is it OK to pray like this in our day?  Join us Sunday morning at 9:00 in the Ballard Middle School Board Room to find out.
