Dear Friends,

Once again, Lent is upon us–it can be 40 days that help us to know our Loving God better, and we can choose whatever helps us do that most, be it prayer, fasting, reading, “giving up” something, or “giving to” something, for someone–whatever helps us to become our best selves–for ourselves and for others.

Come; ponder all this with the All Are One community on Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

In this last Sunday before our yearly walk through the Season of Lent, the readings prepare us with the reminder that our lives, as Jesus’ followers, are meant, “to send us out,” for the good of others, not just ourselves. 

Come; ponder all this with us this week!

Love and peace,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This week’s readings call us to some “urgency” about the type of lives we are living–while “good enough” may pass, Jesus calls us to more!

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Dear Friends,

We are challenged in this Sunday’s readings to face our world and all its problems and joys with truth–the Scriptures say, “authority” –we might say, “with light.” 

Come; let us pray together and help each other to be that light.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We continue in this New Year simply, yet profoundly striving, “to be our best”–so necessary, yet not without challenge. 

Come; pray with us this week, as we attempt, being our best, for ourselves and for others.

Pastor Kathy
