Pastor Amy’s Thoughts
July 16th, 2020
Dear Friends, our lives are turned upside down and inside out. However, in the midst of it all, God offers order and form and relationships. We are “indebted” to God as Paul explains in Romans 8:12. We are indebted to God for our very lives. We are indebted to the many people who have supported us along our journeys. And we are indebted to Creation which surrounds us; the very air we breath, the sun that warms us and the earth under our feet. All God’s good gifts given to God’s adopted children. God has formed us in God’s image, ordered our lives through creation and given us each other to whom we relate. So while our lives are topsy-turvy, let’s remember that God is in the midst of even the worst turmoil and will stand by us and guide us while offering hope. Thanks be to God! Amy
Rejoice! Rev. Amy Shipley
