Pastor's Note

Senior Pastor, Rev. Peter Hey
Dear Ones,

Hope is the theme for this coming weekend. Savannah Guthrie does a beautiful job in this section of her book, "Mostly What God Does." I hope I do justice to her intellectual acumen and her spiritual vitality.

I will share with you how she remains hopeful in different circumstances. When she experiences doubt, she reminds herself that doubt is a part of faith, not its absence. When confronted with the experience of suffering, she has a list of beautiful phrases that help her find a hopeful perspective. As a journalist, she has had a front-row seat to people who have worked through such difficulties.  She defines the phrase "An Act of God" in a way that helps us think more clearly. Finally, she share the memory of someone she admired, who embraced
his tragic death with hope.

There are many good things to be gleaned from the sermon, and I can't wait to share them with you!

Grace and peace
Peter
