Dear Friends,

We continue on in Ordinary Time this week thinking about being “good ground” in which God plants “a Word” that can yield “a fruitful harvest.”

Come; ponder this with us on Sunday!

Dear Friends,

As we celebrate 250 years this weekend attempting a “democratic state,” let us be open to the words of Jesus and the prophets calling us to peace, justice, and mercy in dealing with each other.

Come; be with us this week!

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Once again this week we are being called to the real tenets of our faith — “being Jesus,” basically, in our world.

Come; ponder what this may mean for us, now.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
