Pastor’s Corner – May 26, 2024
Dear Beloved,
How are you as summer approaches? Please let me know if there are any ways that we can be praying for/with you? I would appreciate your prayers in this time of transition for so many - for students and educators, for changes people sometimes experience due to different summer schedules, for people who are traveling more, for summer campers and camp staff, for children and teens who miss the support of the school community, and for those preparing for and participating in special summer programs here within our community of Friedens like Vacation Bible School and trainings funded by the antiracism grant for the Indiana-Kentucky Conference of the United Church of Christ. Would you please also join me for those going through a change in the season of their lives - a new joy, a loss, an illness or injury, an uncertainty?
With a grateful heart, mind, body, and spirit, I thank God for God’s gift of prayer and that we can encourage each other through the blessings of prayer. Let us give thanks and rejoice that through all seasons of the year and in all seasons of life, God’s love is steadfast. In all times and places, may you know you are a beloved child of God. You matter to God. You matter to us.
With appreciation and hope~
Sarah
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. (Psalm 36:5)
