We will gather for worship tomorrow a
tender, tentative people, not knowing what news we will receive by week's end.
Here is what I ask of you: treat one another with intense kindness and
compassion tomorrow. Sink into prayer together. Let God hear your sighs that
are too deep for words.
Ponder God's claim and call on your life.
Each of us has a unique role to play in the unfolding of God's realm. You are
needed more than ever before, as are your siblings in the pews around you. You
are a precious part of the Body of Christ. In fact, the Body of Christ would
not be whole without you.
Let your pewmates know how valuable they
are not only in the sight of God, but in your eyes. God doesn't call us all to
agree on everything. But no matter what, we are called to love each other. The
love which we share together in Christ transforms us all.
No matter what the future may hold, God
will be with us. With this assurance, may we stay connected to one another, in
all we say and do, and love each other in the way that God intends.
Blessings, Dear Ones.
Bishop Karen
