    The sermon emphasizes that faith and obedience invite God’s mercy, and gratitude transforms healing into wholeness, calling us to thankful, faithful living each day.

    Some of us came in today carrying silent stories. The kind that follow you into the pew and sit beside you. A late-night worry that won’t let you sleep.

Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; ...read more
