Why the Environmental Acts are so Important…By Guest Blogger & 2nd Place Winner Ana Clara Ferreira
Nowadays, a very recurring issue is the fact that we need to change our actions towards planet Earth urgently. Our planet is collapsing and we are currently living in times of several environmental crises all around the world, as the recently rainforest fires in Brazil.

Dogwood District Fall Meeting Devotion by Guest Blogger P.K. Henry
First Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you”
