Dear Friends in Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our stewardship and budgeting seasons brought good news for both churches. Giving is up. We have enough money to meet our expenses. The actual details will be available at our annual meetings: Zion on Sunday, January 25 St Anne\u2019s, February 1. Both meetings are after church. Please plan to attend. Bring your questions. Let\u2019s celebrate the hard work we have all done to get where we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of you know I am a night owl. Some of you share my affliction. I found this prayer by Henri Nouwen that speaks to the end of a day when you haven\u2019t had enough sleep the night before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Lord\u2026 You know me more deeply and fully than I know myself. You love me with a greater love than I can love myself. You even offer me more than I can desire\u2026 Take my tired body, my confused mind, and my restless soul into your arms and give me rest, simple quiet rest. Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe you can pray it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faithfully yours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebecca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Friends in Christ Our stewardship and budgeting seasons brought good news for both churches.
