Grace to you and peace, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ!  Monday is the day we remember the birth of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and it is fitting that our scripture readings for the morning tell the stories of different people’s responses to God’s call.  From the mysterious voice that calls the boy Samuel to Jesus’ very direct invitation to Nathaniel and Philip, individuals have heard and responded in different ways.  Dr. King is one whose full response to what God calls each of us to do and to be has become an example for those who seek justice in the world.  How we hear and how we respond to the nudging of God in our lives is different for each of us.  We will explore together the ways in which we might respond, “Here I am, Lord.” 

I pray that everyone stays safe and warm in today’s storm.  Please reach out to me by phone if you have concerns or if there is something you need!  (978)400-1991.   For those of you who have been waiting for this information, please also know that the service in celebration of the life of Rose Ellen Small will be this Friday, the 19th, at 2:00 p.m., with a reception to follow at the Farmhouse Inn. 

Blessings and peace, Lisa
