From Michael's Sermon: " We followers of Jesus are a people who know that our actions matter. We follow an incarnate God who stepped into human history at a time two thousand years ago to speak and act and model for us the good and loving way to live. We also know that our lives are in God's hands. And we know that all of us and all of the outcomes for which we strive are dependent on God. This all began with a birth so momentous that we prepare for its commemoration with a month of prayers and readings which help us find ourselves in God's time, time which is measured not by passing of years but by the depth of love with which it is infused. May we participate fully and in this timeless mystery which is revealed to us and through us in our time but much more importantly in God's. " Thank you Michael.
Have a Blessed Week,
Carpe every Diem",
Rufus and Sandy
