Dear Friends,

This week is the culmination of all that our brother Jesus came to say and do and be in this world. He left us a clear path to follow.

Hopefully, you can be with us on one or both days to celebrate and be grateful. If time with family doesn’t allow, we know you are with us in spirit.

Blessings, peace and much love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are back! Sorry that this didn’t get out yesterday, as promised, but after processing 5 loads of laundry and dealing with a 6-hour jet lag, it just wasn’t happening yesterday! We are glad to be back though and looking forward to seeing many of you on Sunday!

This 4th Sunday of Lent calls us to remember the great love of our God for us, no matter what, in the beautiful story of the Prodigal. All of the readings for this Sunday call us to “beginning again.”

Come; be with us on Sunday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
