For all who are struggling with this pandemic time, much love and a warm hug.

How wonderful to be able to see the Anderson's joining us. Truly a silver lining to this difficult time, the opportunity to worship with those who moved to other areas.

Happy Mother's Day to my amazing momma Kate Thorpe. She is my biggest supporter, especially in these weird times, and this church is one of her favorite places and communities to be a part of. I recognize her here, where she is surrounded by those who know, like I do, what an incredible woman she is. Thank you for giving me life and for always giving me love ???

It is my joy that the weather is nice and everything is blooming.

My husband, Andy, has to have another surgery tomorrow (Friday) for bladder cancer. He's been through this several times, it's not major surgery, and we have a wonderful doctor. However, I worry a lot, especially since I can't go into the hospital with him because of the coronavirus.

For the sick, for the trauma of healthcare workers, for the families who have lost loved ones, for those with food or housing insecurity, for the lonely...sending the light of hope??

Loving the candles!
