Dear Friends,

We continue this week with similar themes from last—trying to live in the present, being aware of our call to be people of faith—followed by people of action, or in other words, living out our faith as James challenges us this week. The prophet Isaiah basically tells us that following our brother Jesus won’t always be easy, but together, as a community of faith, we can do it!  Jesus asks his first followers and us, by extension, who we believe him to be?  The way we answer that question makes all the difference going forward in our lives.  Come; let us ponder this question together!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
