Election Results Message from your Pastor of Saint James Paseo United Methodist Church in Kansas City, Misouri, United States
Dear St. James Family,
After the results of last night's elections many people are in shock and have serious questions. I heard someone ask, "Where was God in all of this?" My response is that sometimes the Lord allows troubling things to happen in order to wake God's people up!
If you want to know more about it, join me tonight at 7 p.m. for Wednesday Night Live. You can also join us online if you can't make it in person.
God bless,
Dr. 3
