March 9, 2022

Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          Masks are slowly coming off and people are feeling more and more comfortable with gathering together and one thing that means for us is that very soon we will be able to have fellowship time after worship and even a potluck dinner! As soon as we set some dates, we’ll let you know.

          The attached prayer, which I will pray during our Mid-week Lenten Service on ZOOM tonight, March 9, at 7:00 PM, is another one of my “ranting prayers”, prayers, if you can call them that, in which I let fly with my anger and frustration and sense of helplessness. Maybe the best thing about it is that it might encourage you to let fly and express what you are feeling to God. You may come away feeling the stronger and better for it.

          May God give us the courage to stand against the thugs of this world and be afraid no longer,

Pastor Halenza
