“My friends, we are a community that exudes comfort, faith, hope, and love to the best of our ability. We are a community that strives to seek and serve Christ in all persons, respecting the dignity of every human being, as our baptismal vows call us. We are a community that wants to lift people up in liberty.
We are not going to ever stop being this kind of faith community, even when times we live in are difficult, uncertain, and discouraging. We need to continue more than ever to do what is right and good and continue to finish the work we are engaged in, God’s work. .. God’s work to ensure that Christ’s Table is never broken apart and remains a safe place where all are welcome to gather in a spirit of unity.”
~The Rev. Dr. Joan Beilstein, November 10, 2024
