Dear Friends,

There is a sense of “urgency” in the Scriptures this week. We hear that Mary, “set out in haste,” to visit Elizabeth. A good question might be for us to ask, “What was the haste about?” What causes us to be, “in a hurry” in our own lives?

Come; ponder these questions with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

The Scriptures this week tell us to “rejoice” and “be glad,” for our time “of waiting” is almost over!

Let us find some quiet time in these days of preparation to know and understand better the mission of Jesus, and ultimately, our mission, as his followers, in our world.

Come; pray with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
