Dear Friends,

We continue to journey on toward the end of our Church Year, always checking to see if our actions coincide with who we say that we are and who we profess to follow.

Come; ponder and pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Dear Friends,

This week’s readings basically ask us to “zero in” on what is most important and specifically, “words versus actions.”

Come; ponder all this with us.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

A good line to keep in mind this week might be Paul’s to the Philippians: “I can do all things through the One who gives me strength.” Much is needed in our world–let us pray for the strength to do our piece!

Come; pray with us this Sunday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Our lives as Jesus’ followers call us to be more than what is comfortable. In other words, there should always be a bit of “un-ease” in our lives when anyone in this world goes without food, shelter, and other necessities of life.

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
