Dear Friends,

We come back to Ordinary Time again this Sunday through the Scriptures, old and new, asking us to be our “best selves” as we respond from our hearts first, rather than our heads, to our world and its people.

Come; pray with us this week for the strength and wisdom to “see” the right, for ourselves and others, and then, “do” it!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

The challenge continues this week as we are being asked to “sit with the ‘uncomfortableness'” at times of truly being a Christian.

Come; ponder this with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. As you look over the Scriptures this week, if a word or phrase stands out for you, jot it down to share at the homily time.
