Grace to you, and peace from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! What do we do when our lives feel tied to the issues of the day, including politics that can produce anxiety even when discussions of them are hopeful and exciting?  What do we do when our endeavors feel too often focused on temporary things, when we know in our hearts that what matters is more eternal?  Trying to discern between what is temporary and eternal, individual and universal, significant or incidental can be difficult.  Sometimes, in our focus on the stuff of religious ceremony, we can forget our need to connect with the aspect of God and our faithlife that is above and beyond the immediate.  So, on this Sunday, I invite you to slow down for conversation about what matters, revealed to us as it is through scripture, and also revealed to us in our observations of all that is good and life affirming.  Join us in worship of God, who unites us and invites us to love. 

Blessings and peace, Lisa
