Dear Friends,

The Scriptures for this week call us, in all of the readings, to walk, “in the glow” of our brother, Jesus.

We are called again and again, even when we don’t “get it right,” don’t, “be our best selves,” to keep on trying.

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Sunday’s liturgy will place us back into Ordinary Time–certainly not, as the title might suggest, a time “to rest on our laurels.” Our God’s call is always there, encouraging and pushing us forward.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

As we move into the new year, 2023, let us “ponder,” with our mother/sister, Mary, on this feast day, honoring her, “all things in our hearts,” so as to “live Jesus” in our lives.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

I won’t be with you this weekend in person, but, as a friend says, “Always in spirit!” The Scriptures this weekend are primarily about our mother/sister, Mary of Nazareth–a woman of strength, of faith–one to emulate! And her partner, Joseph of Nazareth, who takes a bit longer, but becomes a man of great faith and strength too!

Let us pray for each other this weekend–safe travels if you are traveling–stay well!

Love and peace,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This Sunday is all about joy–we can use pink or white as the liturgical color. In fact, as Jesuit, Dan Schutte says, Advent is all about “joy”–joy in a God who loves us so much.

Come; pray with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
