SPIRITUAL BEINGS

Dear Friends in Christ -

We just got done with the most amazing Vestry Meeting. Bishop Laura Ahrens was here for her annual visitation. How wonderful to be able to share with her the exciting things that are happening in our parish!

In addition to getting some business accomplished (we voted to move forward with renovations of the Old Church!!), we had some time to reflect together on Scripture and on our mission and goals.

One person summed it all up with this important reminder about having all things in the right perspective: "We are not really just human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience."

That quote explained to me at a profound level why the work we're preparing to do on the Old Church is so vital - and so energizing. That Old Church reminds us that it's the spiritual things that are most important. When we keep God in the center of our lives, then we have hope, we have security, we are aware of our connection with the One who loves us, the One who holds eternity in his hands.
Faithfully,
Janet+
