Asses
Ephesians 2: 19-22 & Ephesians 4:15-16
Where are we right now as a community of faith and United Methodists in this unique place at this unique time. What are the issues we face today? What ways we can continue to uphold our faith while we are in the formidable details of our lived experience. Can we infuse our daily work and life with the joy of worship and stand firm in the path of community, worship, meaning, and joy?
