As we greet 2023 together, let us resolve to meet the living God in new and important ways.  When our back is against the wall, let us not forget that the Gospel demands for integrity remain.  When we have an opportunity to serve, let us remember that Jesus came not to be served but to serve.  When we have an opportunity to give in to despair, let us not forget that along the road to God we encounter and choose to follow Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  

I look forward to seeing you at 10 o’clock on Sunday mornings for the celebration of the Eucharist and 6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays for Bible Study.

Faithfully,

Moni
