“What it really comes down to is the clearness of heart to stop defining who I am by those who have hurt me and to take up the risk to love myself, to validate my own existence, pain and all, from the center out."― Mark Nepo

Joys & Concerns
In our prayers: Molly’s niece Nancy who is starting chemo for breast cancer and is very scared. For Anna’s husband John who is recovering. For Sophia’s dad Gregory and for Milton. Concern for all who are feeling angry, hopeless, and less safe by this week’s Supreme Court decision. For a friend who is battling cancer. 

Our hearts are thankful for: Molly and Benny’s 51st wedding anniversary! Welcome back to South, Anna! Joy for the youth who participated in The Lab’s Open Mic. Cirstin’s brother has two job offers. Thanksgiving for South and the Hudson River Presbytery who accepted Cirstin as an Inquirer into the process of becoming a Minister of Word and Sacrament.
