Grace in Transition
"God is not elsewhere."
~ Esther de Waal, writer and spiritual leader
During this time of leadership transition, while we continue to hold Wren Blessing and her sons in our prayers, and while we begin to imagine our future, we remember that God is here with us today, and we gratefully celebrate and share God's abundant grace in the here and now.
