And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

This Book contains many big questions about the "Day of the Lord," but we don't want this to overshadow the care Paul had for the Thessalonians, nor the way in which he pastored them by encouraging them in their suffering, and exhorting the lazy among them.
- Jan 20: In addition to the 2 Thessalonians session in the Sanctuary, a Sanctity of Life presentation will take place in Room D505 (the gym). All are welcome.
