This season of Lent gives us much to think about. Michael in his sermon last Sunday closed by saying, "God sings to us, the parts of our spirits we thought were slain forever and brings them and us back to life. And calls us, by acts of charity, by encouraging words, by and exercised and strengthened generosity of spirit, to sing out the word of the Lord to a world waiting to be pulled back together, to stand up and enjoy the life our loving Creator intends for all of us." Thanks Michael. The complete sermon can be found on the website.
Have a blessed week,
Rufus and Sandy
