Good morning and Happy Friday!
It is good to be back from vacation and settling back in among you this week.
Looking very forward to catching up on Sunday and enjoying V.B.S. on Monday! Thanks to all of you who have reached out to support it.
The Scripture passages this week come from Genesis 45: 1- 15 and share with us the reconciliation of Joseph and his brothers many years after he had been sold by them into slavery in Egypt. As I regard these brothers, torn apart so many years ago, still not sure what to make of each other and yet so in need of each other, I wonder yet again at just how often and how poignantly the Bible depicts our sorrows.
Thank God that it also shares with us the good news that no matter how strong the things are that divide us, no matter how deep they run, they are never as strong as that which unites us. Thank God for the love of God.
As I get ready, I pray for each of you, for your families and your friends.
See you Sunday.
Blessings
Karen
