Friday Greetings - March 13

We continue to live in a time where the world seems so uncertain, with wars, terrorist attacks, and economic shocks looming large. It calls to mind the Prayer of St. Francis:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

We hope to see you this Sunday in worship! Pastor Carol will be preaching at 8:30 in the chapel, and Pastor Tyler will be preaching at 9:00 and 11:00 in the Sanctuary.
