SEARCH
Week of September 8
HEARTS TURNED TO GOD

This week all eyes are turned to the events of 9-11 a year ago. Churches and
other groups are memorializing the events a year ago in different ways. But,
what have we learned in a year about our national faith? There were some
immediate signs of revival of spiritual values, but they were not permanent.
Can a tragedy open hearts to Christ, or must men open their own hearts?
