People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race. At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a "thinking" Christian and that "salvaging" Christianity is a hopeless task. Come and ask these questions yourself at our Adult Formation "Living the Question", Flight 2 starting Monday January 16th. Read more about the series. |

In Honduras
Finding God Among the Spectacular and the Mundane
Being with the people of Villa Nueva in Honduras was such a rich experience! Every time we visit is meaningful and often poignant, but this time I had a chance to connect with the people on a pastoral level that I had not experienced before. The death of three people of San Juan Evangelista (the church with which we work) had rocked the congregation to its core. Two of the deaths were of people closely involved in the church. The community is still hurting from the loss. I faced many difficult moments with the families of the people who had died. I was grateful that God was guiding my words and expressions of faith with these families who are still very raw from the loss of their loved one. more
