Greetings!
Following Jesus means hearing him preach sermons that might unsettle or disturb us. Jesus did not mince words about his concern for the poor, the hungry, and those who mourn. He offered healing and wholeness to all who knew their need.
Woe to the rich, Jesus says. He invites us to share what we have so that everyone has enough. How do we begin? Consider a donation of time or money to one of our feeding ministries - Grace to Go, Backpack Buddies, Loudoun Hunger Relief. Enter a sacred conversation addressing racism or the opioid epidemic. Support Bromley Mission School and our Reach team.
Opportunities abound to give and to love. Listen, pray and act. We'll all be blessed.
Blessings,
Rev. Mary Kay

Pancakes, sausage, baked apples and drinks - Dress up in your best Mardi Gras outfits – Invite your friends and neighbors – Proceeds go to our Domestic Outreach ministry. Historically, Shrove Tuesday is the last day of "fat eating" before the fasting period of Lent.
