Dear People of God,
This past Sunday, the building of St. Martin's Church was closed, but the life of the Church goes on. An old hymn says, "new occasions teach new duties." We will learn new things and new ways to care for one another and to share the Gospel through all of this.
If you click on the picture above, you can listen my reflections on John 4:5-42 which was this Sunday's lesson. My chair may be squeaky, but my affections for you are real and I was glad that even if we couldn't be together in person, we will find new ways to worship. Several of you told me today about the services you watched on your computers yesterday. I'm always so amazed how the selected reading from the lectionary can speak so specifically to our present situations, but it does, over and again. I call that the Holy Spirit at work!
As we move into these days, do not hesitate to contact me: rectorstmartinsnj@gmail.com.
God will bless this world in these days and we are called to be God's blessing to the world.
Yours in Christ,
Tim+
