Jesus comes
Rev. Jennie Gordon
with deep compassion,
with empty hands and open arms
to a world where power, wealth and privilege
are held tightly, and defended with
aggression and violence.

we need to
Rev. Barbara Strickland
take the small, but mighty step, to
leave our safe place where the boundaries
are predictable and where we feel comfortable,
and venture forth to where
the Lord is calling us

when [Jesus]
Rev. Deacon Peter Harvey
pointed out God’s concern for
outsiders– for people outside the tent, …
that’s when these people who knew
him and respected him
changed.

200 was
Rev. Arnie Wierenga
a number that seemed
barely possible to a young child
– imagine the birthday cake, the fireworks,
and millions of people invited
to the party!
