Dear good people,
How are you feeling today? Can you find your strength? Do you have the courage to face the barrage of violence in the news or is it time to turn it off? Are you angry, sad and/or numb? Are you relieved or even hopeful?
I do hope there is enough that is good and right in your life to provide some much needed perspective. And, if you are a victim today, I hope we can offer you our help and some space to heal.
Being alive in this time calls us to celebrate when we can, to grieve so much, and to help those who are in pain. We may even find the courage to demand a better world. Opportunity for ministry abounds.
First, pay attention to how you are feeling and honor its power.
Join us this Sunday at 10:30 am!

Feeling Better
Rev. Virginia Jarocha-Ernst
It is hard to imagine feeling better this week as we take in the shock and grief of another mass shooting. But the question remains relevant, "how can we feel better when the world around us seems to be crumbling?" The answer might be in the difference between the long and the short view of life, and in our willingness to live bravely.
This Sunday our entire offering will be dedicated to the victims of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Please come prepared to be generous.
