(our latest steps): Northern California
December 22, 2017
This week the HLF team enjoyed the warm sunshine in beautiful Northern California. As the children stood at the foot of giant Sequoia trees in the Redwood Forest, or splashed their feet in the vast Pacific Ocean, they’ve beheld the greatness of our Creator in a new way. It’s exciting to watch them learn from these experiences and sing, “My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do!” with an even greater energy and enthusiasm. As the tour progresses, the children have seen over and over again that all creation bears witness to the glory and greatness of our God!

So precious to have children from Calvary Way Church congregation join the HLF choir in worshiping God in Ukiah, California.
