Dear Friends,

This week we try to understand the concept of the Trinity — 3 persons in one God. We might best understand this mystery through our hearts.

Come; ponder this with us this week.

Dear Friends,

As we wind down on the Easter Season this week and next, and prepare to remember the coming of the Holy Spirit into our lives, let our prayer be renewed, asking to be people of strength and peace, willing to speak truth-to-power, even if, and when, we must stand alone to do so.

Come; ponder this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
