Dear Friends,

This Sunday will mark the end of this Church Year–it is a feast that calls us to “truth,” and because of that, we can honor, praise, and be grateful to our God, in Jesus, the Christ, who has shown us the way…

Come; celebrate with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Our Church Year is winding down and this week we hear a message that for centuries has woven through our biblical history–that of “loving God and our neighbors as ourselves.”

Come; ponder this with us on Sunday.

Peace and love, Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We continue to bask in our new space at First Congregational church! Some of you have yet to see and experience it and in the near future, we will celebrate our new working/sharing relationship with First Congregational with a joint blessing. I will share more as this is planned.

Another reminder, when you come to our new space, use the side door and if you need assist with the few stairs, there is a lift, but we need to show you how to use it as we have been instructed not to do it alone–it works really slick once you know how!

Our readings this week call us, as always, to keep our eyes on Jesus, in choosing to do the most loving thing, attempting to find the balance in our human and spiritual lives.

Come; be with us this week.

Peace and love, Pastor Kathy
