Trials, Tribulations and Transformation

In the difficult possibility of life's changes, we don't like to hear any bad news.  If something is going to be challenging we would rather not hear about it and often only face problems once they become unavoidable.   In our gospel passage,  Jesus does not protect the disciples from the trouble he foresees on the horizon.  Even more incredibly, he admonishes them to not worry.  This Sunday, we will seek after a wisdom that teaches us not only how to endure difficulties, but how to survive them.

Keeping Hope Alive

People of faith are a hopeful people.  It is an extension of our calling to forgive the unforgivable and love the unlovable.  God's imaginative possibilities are far greater than our worries, fears, and hang-ups.  Sunday after Sunday we band together with the wild expectation that we can grow into better people, that our future can be greater than our present, believing our destiny is always grander and more fulfilling than our current distractions.  Theologically, this is known as redemption.   The world and all who live in it have the capacity for transformation.   Even in our struggles and moments of living through the shadows, God's ultimate plans and purposes will not be defeated.  As we gather around the table of our LORD and declare his constancy throughout time, may we live further into his promises; sufficient for today and with brighter hope for tomorrow.

A Report from Our Staff Transition Committee

We will be looking at our past and current staffing and visioning what we believe the structure and characteristics of that staff should be in the future. Our recommendations will also include a (doable) path to that vision and suggestions for how we can nurture, grow, challenge and encourage our staff. We will need your input. Be on the lookout for listening sessions in the coming months!
