Dear Friends,

With this Sunday, we have come to the mid-way point of our Lenten journey. The Scriptures continue to challenge us to be our best, by not “hardening our hearts,” but by “growing” “hearts of flesh.” Let’s keep our eyes on our brother Jesus to know the best ways of doing this.

Come; be with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We continue our Lenten journey following in our brother, Jesus’ footsteps, seeking out those practices that may make us stronger to be our “best selves” in a world that truly needs the goodness we have to share.

Come; ponder all this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Today begins the holy season of Lent–a time that gives us the opportunity to grow closer to our brother, Jesus; to learn again, perhaps, how we might more fully follow him in our present time. This doesn’t need to be a “negative” time…

So, come; ponder all this with us on Sunday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

The Scriptures this Sunday call us to see ourselves as part of a “whole.” All the writers, the prophets, and our brother, Jesus, call us to see the poor among us and do our best to make equal, the goods of this world.

Come; ponder and pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
