Love is the Spirit of this Church, and Service is its Prayer.

WORSHIP SERVICE

“don't despair”
Sunday, February 1, 10:50 am, 10:50 am, 2026
Carmen Barsody, Sam Dennison and Mari Magaloni Ramos, preaching

​

If these times call for resilience (and they do), we best not despair, for despair dissipates and distracts. Despair unmoors us and sets us adrift. No! Let us not despair. Let us look simply and solidly upon what is happening here and now. Let us not be swallowed by fretful imaginings. Yes, let us take a deep breath and get on with what is ours to do. This is how we will be prepared for the long haul: we will be together, grounded and in community with resilience. Let us not despair! Let us be resilient!
