Greetings to all!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, an occasion to remember and celebrate our
most personal relationships. Whether embodied in the traditional patterns
with which many of us grew up, or in the newer patterns that are found today,
mutually caring and respectful relationships are critical for the full experience
of what it means to be human. So take some time tomorrow, in whatever way
might be appropriate to the relationship, to celebrate and thank those persons
in your life who help you to experience the best of what it means to be human.
The lectionary texts for February 17, the 6th Sunday after Epiphany…
Being Disciples, an exploration of the Christian life based on the book by
Rowan Williams, continues this Sun, Feb 17, 10am, as we discuss "Holiness"
and "Life in the Spirit" (chapters 4 & 6). Use reply email to request chapter

Walking Through Scripture, a practice of reading the Sunday lectionary
