From the Pastor ....
“Perfect love casts out fear.”
(1 John 4:18)
|
|
As I read and hear the daily news, there is an abundance of fear. What happened at our nation’s capital last week deeply disturbs and saddens my heart. We are a broken and hurting nation. This is a time where we need to pray for our nation and the world that God so dearly loves.
This morning in my devotional time, I was drawn to St. John’s words that the perfect love of God casts out our fears. John wrote these words years after Jesus died on the cross. He was in deep reflection of what a lifetime of demonstrating God’s love resembles. The power of God’s love has the capacity to change hearts and transform the world.

This Sunday, we will continue with our study of “The Story,” chapter 10. Worship will also include a celebration of MLK’s life as we do so each year. I will also invite you to zoom Bible study with me at 10 am following online worship. There will also be communion drive through from 11 am – Noon at Our Savior’s. As this is an unsettling time in our world, I am committed to deeply praying for our nation. I invite you to join me. Whether you have 5 minutes of time each day or 5 hours, let us pray for this world that God so dearly loves. |

Care of Creation Tip
In gratitude, caring for God's Air, Water, and Land
Reuse - Become Part of the Solution
How would you like to clean up a hazardous waste problem? We often use household products that become hazardous waste when discarded. Many times, leftover quantities of paints, varnishes, stains, solvents, cleaners, and more are tossed out when a home project is completed.
Collections programs for these household hazardous wastes in Washington County gather these products and make them available for reuse. The Free Product Room at the Washington County Environmental Center is a great place to "shop" for leftover materials for home projects.
By getting do-it-yourself supplies there, you help turn wastes into useful materials . . . and you get them for free. For hours of operation and COVID procedures, visit:
A lot of "just one persons" working together can accomplish mighty things. ~ A message from your OSLC Care of Creation team.
