He is risen! Happy Easter to you and your family from all of us at ConnCrete Realty Solutions! What a blessing this morning is! We are spending some time this weekend to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made to save us from our sins. It is sometimes hard in the busyness of our day-to-day lives to remember what a gift of freedom we now have in Christ. This weekend is one of our favorite holidays to help us slow down and remember the sacrifice and be joyful of the gift of forgiveness!
