Westside Family Church Seen and Strengthened: A Mother's Day Message For Every Season Pastor(s): Jonathan and Lindsey Hansen  Notes:  Capable - Strong - Praiseworthy High School Sweethearts, Atlanta, GA - met @ 17 years old.

Matthew 21:5 Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!
