Reflection from Your Co-Pastors
October 29, 2020

Luke 13: 31-35

 "How many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings."

What a tender image we have from our brother Jesus in today's Gospel. A very feminine image of a mother hen gathering her chicks together.  

For those of you who were present for our three church worship service on Sunday, It felt as though Jesus' longing has been satisfied. He no longer yearns for that intimate gathering at 301 East Stuart. The 301 Faith Partners have joined together in a commitment grounded in the love of Christ, under the wing and embrace of the One who unites all peoples as the Body of Christ. 

We have made a covenant with each other, much like our God who has a history of
making covenants with the people of God, and we will move forward in faith, hope, and love, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and our prayerful discernment.

If today you are looking for hope, look to this new partnership of our three communities: able to lend support in these troubled times, able to better serve God's people, able to triple the love of Christ, here in our corner of the world.

Thanks be to God.
AMEN
