To Our Very Good Health

As we prepare to gather once again in Christ’s Name in the Presbytery of the Cascades, I am again aware of the power of prayer. We incline our hearts with petitions to God; it is a deeply personal thing. We open our hearts to hear God; it is a hopeful thing. We join our hearts in mutual caring; it is a community thing. On Sunday at Savage Memorial, we were talking about health care, and asking, is our church a center of health in people’s lives? That is our hope.

In the Presbytery, we are in the spirit of Christ’s body when we gather in healthy, hopeful, up-lifting ways. That does not mean we should not be realistic. It does mean we can and should work together, and care for one another’s health, and celebrate each other’s diverse gifts and witness. In fact, we can only do that – together.

In prayers for Shalom ~
