As we find ourselves in the heart of the Lenten season, I’m reminded of the journey that we are on as a community of faith. The many checklists of church merger. The continued work of reflection, renovation and renewal that come with renovating a space.
During the work of transition, I am filled with gratitude for the resilience and spirit of our congregation. In the midst of so many changes, our commitment to love, serve and worship together has provided me with renewed energy and excitement over what we are doing.
In the midst of these changes, we have been able to witness the power of prayer in action.
Our dedicated prayer team has been offering daily prayers for this merger process. Prayers for openness to new things. Prayers for the difficulties we face. Prayers for the new people we will reach. These prayers shape our community of faith, and deepen our connection to the neighborhoods that we serve.
This Sunday we lead dementia friendly worship at Wesley Place where we have an opportunity to extend God’s love and compassion to our neighbors. Join us this Sunday as we worship, serve and soar together. Your presence makes all the difference as we continue to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community and beyond.
Peace,
Matthew
