Grace to you, and peace from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! Gearing up for our celebration of Pride today, I am also writing with thoughts of welcome in mind. It is not always easy to know how we make room for others, whether in our own family, in our community, or in the wider world. Still, we are invited–and I would even say challenged to love–widely and well. That is our single law. So, we will look this weekend at what it means to love. Sound simple? Jesus knew how difficult this can sometime be, and Jesus’ first followers sometimes struggled with how to live out this law. We are not alone, which is the message we try to share with others as we live out our love. Let’s keep figuring this out together.
Blessings and peace, Lisa
