Everyone's circumstances have been drastically altered by Covid-19 and quarantines. This has been especially true for the church. Even as we have change and adapted so many of our practices, we must remember that our mission has not changed.

Our names are more than a bunch of letters put together. They usually have a meaning as well. Jesus was known by several names but He had one in particular He used for himself: Son of Man. What does this mean? Why is it important that He is the Son of Man?
