Dear Friends,

Robert and I will not be with you for Mass this Sunday–but will be with you in spirit as we complete our Christmas celebration with our family; kids, spouses and grandson. Pastor Dick Dahl will be with you in our absence.

This Sunday’s readings call us to continue our journey of love spoken of so beautifully in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians–all good deeds, all sacrifices are as nothing if one does not have love! We are reminded this week by the prophet Jeremiah of our God’s constancy on our behalf since before we were born and of how we will never be overcome as evidenced in our brother Jesus in his home town of Nazareth.  Come; pray together for the strength we all need to be people of love and mercy.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
