            Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation, 

            I hope you’re planning on attending the Cookout on Sunday, September 25, following worship. For the first time in more than two years we will gather for a meal together! Please be part of it and help us celebrate being more and more of a congregation again. 

            The prayer I will pray during our ZOOM worship time tonight, Wednesday, September 14, at 7:00 PM, was set off by what the Prime Minister of Finland, of all people, said in response to criticism over images of her partying with friends. I couldn’t agree more with what she said and as I thought about it, a prayer came. 

             May God continue to grace our days, even dark days, with laughter and joy, 

Pastor Halenza
