Love with Integrity!

Happy Valentine’s Day to the church I love.   I John says, “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.”   To all of us who would short-change the law of love, Jesus challenges us in the Sermon on the Mount – comparing our anger to murder, comparing our lustful thinking to adultery.   Clearly relational integrity matters to Jesus – not that we are just civil to one another, but that we care deeply enough to make peace after conflict, and to build committed relationships of love.

Youth group is watching “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” Sunday at 4:00, and Faith and Film is meeting at church next Friday, the 21st to view “Fill the Void.”   Dinner Groups are gathering this week-end, and the parking lot is getting sealed. 
There are beautiful new additions inside and outside the building.  (plants, carpet, paint, hymnals, cabinets)  Stay tuned as there may be some more work to do next Saturday, the 22nd, the day before our Dedication.

Much love and appreciation for each of you,
Elizabeth
