Dear Friends,

The readings this week call us to “hope,” in our faith, that each of us will “show up” and do our part.

Dear Friends,

A good line to keep in mind this week might be Paul’s to the Philippians: “I can do all things through the One who gives me strength.” Much is needed in our world–let us pray for the strength to do our piece!

Come; pray with us this Sunday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Our lives as Jesus’ followers call us to be more than what is comfortable. In other words, there should always be a bit of “un-ease” in our lives when anyone in this world goes without food, shelter, and other necessities of life.

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Our Scriptures this week call us beyond our humanity, which is limited, to our spiritual selves, and in that, keeping our eyes on our brother Jesus who shows us in this week’s gospel, what “justice for all” really means.

Come; ponder all this with us this Saturday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Today we are once again challenged to not, “over-think” this task of being, “Christian.” If we respond from our hearts, we can never really go wrong.

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
