Grace to you and peace, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! Speaking with the director of Bagaduce Music, Bennett Konesni, after the concert on Wednesday, we shared our gratitude for being part of work that involves bringing people together in community.  That has certainly been one of the greatest gifts in ministry for me, and this is certainly a time in which our communal strength is necessary.  We have passed through the most troublesome aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic, thanks to vaccinations, but we also know that some persons are separated from others because of ongoing fears.  We are nervous about the days ahead with some typical and some atypical concerns about changing governmental administration.  So, we look to one another for mutual support, and for new vision.  We look to one another to aid in becoming our best selves for a hurting world.  That is part of the message we receive in our scripture lessons this week.  Let’s join in facing the future unafraid and with the resolve forged by working side by side. 

This Sunday also is what we call Consecration Sunday, when we dedicate our pledges and gifts to the church for the ministry of the year ahead.  If you do not have a pledge card, please know that you may ask for one as you enter worship tomorrow.  We will continue to celebrate our gifts with our time of fellowship after worship thanks to our Stewardship team!

Blessings and peace, Lisa
