Devotional: Together in Christ

Although we are physically separate in this season, we are united as the Body of Christ. For the next few weeks members of the South Park Church family will share a daily devotional and prayer so that we can be "Together with Christ." May we grow together in this season, uniting our hearts and prayers together with Christ.
