Words To Ponder

From the Sunday Service,
May 19, 2024

"... seek happiness but dwell in joy. Recognize the sacredness of your own existence—the miracle of being alive. Carry this truth with you: You deserve joy, not as a fleeting guest but as a constant companion on your journey. Embrace joy as a birthright, not a conditional reward.
You are enough."

Reverend Amy Petrie Shaw
