Dear Friends,

We are back to Ordinary Time, but not “ordinary” as far as what is expected of us as Jesus’ followers.

You will find that I have used a bit of literary license in choosing an alternate 2nd reading, actually just a different section of Romans than what is listed in the lectionary. This new choice fits better, I believe, with the messages of both the 1st reading from Exodus and the gospel from Matthew.

Come; ponder all this with us.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are called this weekend to seriously consider the “Body of Christ” in our midst, and ask if we want to move that idea beyond the Bread of the Altar. It’s a compelling question! Perhaps an even greater question is what was Jesus’ intention for his body?

Come; ponder this with us this weekend.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We have a wonderful opportunity this week to delve into who our God is in the persons of the Creator, the Savior, and the Spirit. We shouldn’t get lost in the “top” layers of the Scripture readings that explain the human-made “head” understanding of “who” indeed, God is, but go deeper –to the “heart”-level seeing our God who loves and cares for each of us beyond all imaging. Then, if we do this, we have a clearer picture of what is expected of us.

Come; be with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

I think it is significant that the liturgical color for Pentecost is red and that the Scriptures about this special day for Christians speaks of “tongues of fire.” Our Christian faith does call each of us in the footsteps of our brother Jesus to, “catch fire” in living out our call.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

With this weekend, we will be concluding the Easter Season, a time if we have been paying attention, that has prepared us to walk more fully in Jesus’ footsteps, aided by the gift of his Spirit.

Come; pray with us on Saturday.
