These ordinary gifts of chocolates and hand sanitizers are important tangible symbols of the love that we have for each other as a congregation, and touch hearts when people know that they are remembered and loved, even if they cannot always attend church in person. Thank you for participating in sharing that love.

God bless you, and I’ll see you in church,

Becky

From Kate Bowler, a blessing for the weary:

Blessed are you who keep showing up, even when it’s messy.

Blessed are you who stretch beyond your limits and find—somehow—

that you have more to give.

Blessed are you who know that loving well doesn’t mean loving perfectly.

Also from Kate Bowler: If today feels too much, that’s okay. Rest is part of the work. Sharing the load is part of the work.
