Dear Epiphany, We all know how full each of our lives is on a daily basis with stresses and schedules. So on this Memorial Day weekend, may you leave space for Sabbath rest and share in the renewing power of Word and Sacrament on Sunday as we worship the living God in prayer and song. Come, give thanks, pray and rest in God's gracious love. "For in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be our strength." Amen and Alleluia! Yours in Christ, Rev'd Jen |
