The staff of The Upper Room is saddened to hear that a beloved storyteller, author, preacher, teacher, and friend Rev. Michael E. Williams passed away on March 19, 2018.
The current issue of The Upper Room daily devotional guide features a Prayer Workshop by Michael entitled "Love Overflowing." As we enter this holiest of weeks, Michael's words remind us of the greatest story ever told and a love more powerful than "all hatred, cruelty, and death."
"Faith in God’s unending love embodied in Jesus and lived out by those of us who follow him allows us to walk into the future trusting in God’s love and sharing it with others as we go."
—Rev. Michael E. Williams
