April Pastor's note
I’ve been thinking a lot about Mary Magdalene lately. Across all four Gospel accounts of the resurrection, she’s the only one named in each account as first to the tomb. Was she the most faithful disciple? She had the resolve and strength to stay with Jesus from cross to tomb, returning again to take care of his body. Jesus himself sent her as the first evangelist, the “apostle to the apostles.” Over the years, Mary’s leadership was downplayed or overlooked in favor of focusi

Dear friends, Are your hearts heavy today? If not today, I know heaviness is never far off, given all that is going on in our world. When I lack words, I look for better ones.

November Pastor's Note
The March of Lament on Saturday, October 18, was a beautiful, moving, powerful event. It’s hard to call something beautiful when the reason for gathering is so cruel, but it was beautiful to see our community come together across lines of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, language, and other common lines of division. I was so grateful to be there and to be part of it, and for it to happen on our front lawn. It was a sacred event on sacred space. It’s not the first time
