GREETING MESSAGE

Welcome! Let me take us to the movies…

Forrest Gump said: “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” And then this from Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz: “Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

Forrest reminds us that life is often uncertain. And Dorothy reminds us that things are changing all the time, taking us on new journeys, and bringing us to different places.

As you think about your own journey on the pathway of faith, be open to the possibilities before you. The world is changing and challenging. But there is real hope for a better world.

And know this: God’s plan for you is bigger than your view. My hope is that we can journey together, one prayer, song and act of kindness at a time.
