For your contemplation: “‘Listen with the heart,’ the Rule of Benedict says. ‘Listen with feeling and listen with compassion. Listen with values and listen with concern. Listen for the truth of a thing, not for the power of a thing. Obey what makes your heart more human, not necessarily what makes your position more secure. Listen with a critical ear for the sound of the gospel in everything you do, no matter who orders it, no matter how sacred the institution that demands it. Or else the Holocaust. Or else the Inquisition. Or else Watergate and Irangate. Or else power before truth,’” Joan Chittister.

Please join us on Sunday, May 22, at 10 a.m. for services with a sermon entitled “Fruits.” Pastor David Krueger-Duncan will continue his discussion of the gifts and fruits of the spirit.  Special music will be provided by soprano, Mary Ormsby. A coffee hour will follow in the church fellowship hall.
