Dear Friends,

We continue our Lenten journey this week as the Scriptures call us to keep our lives in balance–between the good of our lives here and the ultimate good, one day, of heaven. It is good to remember throughout these Lenten Days that we are “spiritual beings” here, having a “human experience!”

Come; ponder all this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Lent is upon us. This time means something different to each of us. Let’s listen to our hearts and follow our brother, Jesus. We are told in the readings this week to basically follow the Scriptures, which is another way of saying the same thing.

Come; pray with us this week…

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are called this week to consider that who we are inside, what we cultivate, will be seen in our actions, in our words. Something to ponder.

Dear Friends,

This 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time calls us to consider how much we do, in fact, “trust” in our God. This Sunday also suggests a real correlation between “trust” and “love”–both actions of we humans, that do seem to go, hand in hand.

Come; pray with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
