Wearing Your Sunday Best

Scripture Lesson: Luke 10:38-42 (NIV)           There was a time when almost every child in America had at least three sets of clothing.  They had school clothes, play clothes, and church clothes.  A child’s church clothing was commonly referred to as their “Sunday best.”        Wearing one’s “Sunday best” communicated more than simply a style […]
