Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought. . .

Once again, we pass along the reflection offered at our monthly vestry meeting.  Thank you, Deborah Meyer, for this gift. . .


I was so fortunate to have been able to spend time this past summer on an island along the New Jersey Shore.  Most times when I have quiet moments of contemplation such as I as I had while on holiday, my thoughts seem to spiral down unsettling paths. I think of personal loss.  I think of our deteriorating planet.  I think of societal unrest spanning the globe.  I think of fracturing familial and interpersonal relationships.  I think of the human suffering, unnecessary disparities, all manners of discrimination, and all the injustices decaying the fabric of our society.  The sadness and fear shake me, and so I turn off the inner dialog, and read a book, listen to music or tune in to an uplifting podcast.   To read more, click here. . . .

Yes, we're doing great with our 10th Annual 'Miles for a Mission' Race donations, but we can really use your help with runners & walkers.

 Here's a new thermometer based on our goal of 130 participants. If you haven't already, please sign up today! And please send the link(s) to your family and friends. Remember, the event will be virtual (Sep. 19-25) AND in person (Sep. 25) with our famous Dogapalooza.

Link of the Week


I would prefer the title were a little less political. It is, however, a spot on portrayal of how some, sadly, interpret the ministry of Jesus for today . . . 

Going Deeper

Evangelical thinker and activist, Ron Sider, died recently. He received a doctorate from Yale University and embodied the faith, commitment, and call to justice at the heart of that movement. He wrote a book, whose title is apt for our text this Sunday: Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger. This is Sider presenting on faith and politics at a crossroads.  The second item is from a good friend of Sider's, Jim Wallis.  An important voice in the public square. . .
