Pastor's Letter
- Details
Dear Friends,
We pray you are safe and well. In the spirit of our philosophy of co-creating community and our awareness that the Spirit speaks through each of us, we invite you to share your meditations with us as well. We truly believe that in God’s economy of abundance, when we share our blessings, our thoughts, our feelings, we are all made richer.
Today’s meditation is a poem written by Rev. Colette Bachand who writes: My work in geriatric care (I think you know I am chaplain at a retirement community in NC?) is such a gift and, in this moment, very full. This week I wrote this poem based on inspiration from some of the elders I am in ministry with. It is very heartbreaking to witness the pandemic of loneliness and separation from their children.
May it nourish your contemplative-active hearts!
We hope and pray that you and your loved ones experience genuine peace of mind and heart, and remain in good health during this challenging time.
May the Easter Season be a time of peace, of healing and hope, of the resurrection of joy in your life!
With our love and care,
Ron & Jean
