Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Another wonderful reflection during our vestry prayer service. Many thanks to Nancy Bisset for her words. . .

Is it really possible that two years ago the word COVID was not even in our vocabulary? A disease  that has now deeply affected practically every human being on our planet. People have experienced painful separation from loved ones and even worse sometimes their loss, severe illness and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Economies have been turned upside down and now even attending church is considered high risk. Although this has been a painful and heartbreaking two years for all of us, my hope is that when we finally do emerge from this pandemic we will be a more faithful, compassionate, thoughtful and appreciative people.
Link of the Week
Abiding by the dictum that we rejoice with those who rejoice, the following is a wonderful clip of Claudia Bilotti's and Joe Bilotti's grandson, Caleb. Priceless . . .
Going Deeper
A statement from the National Council of Churches on Christian Nationalism. An important read. . .
