E - Bulletin for February 28, 2019
Hi Everyone,
Have you ever resisted progress? Or witnessed someone resist the progress you were making?
This Sunday is Transfiguration Sunday, where a natural consequence of drawing closer to God, for Moses, is the growth of his inner light. This frightens all around him, especially those closest to him.
If this is a familiar theme to you, remember, God calls us to use our light to serve those around us...even and especially those fearing us.
And if we are the ones resisting, remember, a natural consequence to drawing closer to God in faith, is the washing away of our fear.
May the Spirit of Transfiguration bless you and renew your strength to let your light grow,
Rev. Doug
