Dear Friends,

Our Scriptures are about the “End Times” and we reflect on that too as our Church Year is coming to an end this month. We can look to our country as well and reflect on endings. It is the hope of many that with the recent national elections, we can come to a place soon, of more civility, more good will, more inclusion–less division. That is my prayer. Do pray with me that soon our hope can be realized as we all strive to be part of the changes we want to see.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We will be concentrating this Sunday with what it truly means to be a “saint.” After you have a working definition–who is a saint, really; think about anyone in your acquaintance, in the present day whom you would consider a saint. A clue would be–this isn’t someone who is perfect, necessarily.

So my friends, I invite you to ponder this question.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

NO PHYSICAL MASS THIS WEEKEND-OCTOBER 11, 2020.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE NEXT ZOOM MASS, OCTOBER 25, 2020.

______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Friends,

We continue in these weeks, winding down the Church Year, with such beautiful weather in the Midwest. We are told this week, as most weeks, that our God welcomes all of us, but most poignantly this week, in the story of those invited to the wedding feast.

Please be with us in spirit as we reflect on our need, “to rise to the occasion.”

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
