Dear Friends,
These are days heavy with worry. The headlines shift by the hour, and the politics of our moment seem to lurch further into reactionary territory. It’s so very troubling. And more often than not, we are left wondering what to do, how to keep moving, how to make sense of this much uncertainty and ache all at once.
This Sunday in worship, we’ll return to an old, persistent question: Is there a balm in Gilead? Jeremiah asked it long ago in a time of devastation, and the question still lingers for us now. Where do we find the healing presence of God when the world, and we, are so broken?
I believe we need one another to get through these days. We need the steadiness of community, the healing of our God, and a place to bring the grief, anger, and anxiety we’re holding.
Come as you are. We’ll gather, pray, and seek balm together.
With love,
Pastor Lea
