Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.”

- Matthew 5:39-42, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.

- Augustine

Pray Together with Us

As the days and years add up in me, O Lord, help me to grow in gratitude. As I grow older, give me a good memory for your acts of guidance and deliverance and a ready tongue for witness and praise. Amen.

- Eugene Peterson
