Dear Friends,
We continue this week with Ordinary Time, but as always are challenged beyond the ordinary. Jesus asks his neighbors to see him as the Messiah–a big leap for them. We are likewise called to see the divine in each other and respond accordingly. Come; let us ponder these mysteries and grow together as the People of God. PLEASE SEE SEVERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS BELOW.
Peace and love,
Pastor Kathy
