Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

— Luke 6:27-31, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Without God's Spirit, there is nothing we can do that will count for God's kingdom. Without God's Spirit, the church simply can't be the church.

— N. T. Wright

Pray Together with Us

Prayer
To God the Father, who first loved us
and made us accepted in the Beloved:
To God the Son, who loved us, and washed us
from our sins in his own blood:
To God the Holy Ghost, who sheds the love of God
abroad in our hearts,
Be all love and all glory,
From time and for eternity.

— Thomas Ken
