We are committed to *absolutely everyone* experiencing God's love, theological thought and conversation, and creating community that is learning to live Christ-centered lives.
Have you ever held your hand very close to someone else's without actually touching? What do you notice in the space between? What did you feel? Perhaps a sense of connection and separation, at the same time? If someone asked: So, are you connected or are you separated? And the answer would be "yes"

On Ash Wed, a dear clergy friend and her co-pastor were confronted by an angry White Nationalist just before worship. In the letter to the whole congregation describing new security measures, they closed with the phrase "take heart dear ones, the kin-dom is near" This is my daily Lent mantra. Jennie

Starting bluesky with the start of Lent. We want to see everything that is between the polarities, expecting to find Life and Spirit (God) there! You can set an intention for the next 6 weeks, how do you want to grow closer to God and deeper in your faith? It will happen between intention & action.
