We have been moving through a series of powerful funerals and enduring great political angst as we move towards the presidential election. The emotional toll can be overwhelming. Our hope, on November 10, the Sunday after the election, is to proclaim the love and grace of Jesus that holds and heals us in the midst of all that can threaten our fragile peace. We will follow our normal liturgy with some creative opportunities for prayer. Please invite your friends if you feel they could use some hope.
