Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

July 23, 2020

Be Encouraged by God's Word
We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor. For Christ did not please himself. May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

— Romans 15:1-3a, 5-6, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.

— N. T. Wright

Stir up, we ask you, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that they who have freely received of your bounty, may of your bounty freely give; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
