This Week's Offer As we approach the holidays, there’s likely to be a few seasonal events you will be attending. It’s a time when potlucks and gift exchanges pop on our calendars. It’s also a chance to hit the road to visit family or friends, and stay overnight. These are life’s special moments that are meant to be treasured, and not meant to be hurried through. Have you noticed how Jesus was never in a hurry? He was relaxed, took in his surroundings, and made time to really listen to people from all walks of life. He was patient, kind and caring. We are created in His image so that we can carry out His destiny. At Hour of Power, we have created a very special offer to help you move about in mindful and unhurried fellowship this holiday season. For your gift of just $40 or more, we’ll send you our specially designed Blessed Canvas Tote Bag.
