Bradley Jersak was with us this Sunday, and he shared the incredible example of Palestinian Christians who have chosen to walk the Jesus Way of choosing hope and peace instead of giving in to hatred and the inevitable cycles of violence that result.
Today Walter shared some thoughts on making it easier to endure pain and hardship if we help each other tell ourselves better stories, using a paraphrase of Romans 5.1-4 (and his own experience) as an example.
A beautiful service for the First Sunday of Advent came in the form of our second “communion liturgy Sunday.” With music, readings and a homily on hope by Rachael Barham, we ushered in the season together.
