Dear Friends,

Being that our gospel this Sunday is about the “vine and the branches,” i.e. our God’s desire to be one with us, I thought a short meditation from Joyce Rupp, in her book, Fragments of Your Ancient Name, on “Vine,” would be appropriate.

When I reflect on the people/Whom I dislike and tend to avoid, the people whose aberrant behavior/leads me to think less of them, Then I remember who you are: The true Vine, the anchor of love/To which every person is joined. You draw each of us to yourself/Regardless of who or how we are. If I am with you, then so are they.

Today: I turn my heart toward all people.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
