Dear Family of God,
Generosity is a journey. It’s a practice that we learn and nurture within our hearts. It isn’t in our nature to give away what we have worked hard to acquire or to donate our precious time without compensation. It takes something as radical as Love to inspire us to share our time, talent, and treasure with others. This is a journey we make together, a Walk in Love.
As we have lived with the Gospel of St. Mark this year we have been brought into a world turned radically upside down. The laws and customs that had been in place for centuries are challenged. Power and dominion are questioned. A culture hemmed in from all sides by oppression and subjection desperately seeks a way forward.
As it turns out, it is not clever politics or force that cause changes in society, but the simplest concept of Love. Jesus prompts a revolution of thought and heart by daring to reach out to the outcast and teach others to do the same. He walks in love with the marginalized, the poor, and the sick, and He brings us along with him on his journey.
The most miraculous gift of Love is that it was there within us all along; all we had to do was find it, tap into it, and begin growing it. And look what happened? We learned to share, to give, to volunteer, to accompany others, to feed, to pray, to visit, to strive for change. This year in our fall stewardship program, we are raising up stories of how we Walk in Love with each other in our congregation. I invite you to share your stories of inspiration and connection with one other. I invite you to Walk in Love.
Yours, in faith,
the Rev. Sabeth Fitzgibbons, 12th Rector

Adult Formation: Exploring Christian Nationalism
Sundays, October 20 & 27, at 9:15AM in Trinity Library
The problem with Christian Nationalism, says bestselling author and American theologian Jim Wallis, is that it’s not Christian. Wallis contends that with its whites-first, Christian-first ideology, Christian Nationalism undermines the basic tenets of Christianity. In Genesis, we hear of God creating humans in God’s image. This core statement of our faith calls on us to believe and act in ways that honor the intrinsic value of all people. Join us to learn more about how Christians can reject the “false white gospel” of Christian Nationalism and reclaim our true faith.
Community Lunch (3rd Sundays)
Sunday, October 20, at 11:45AM in the Parish Hall
Every 3rd Sunday of the month we host a FREE hot meal for our community and neighbors. All hungry humans are invited to eat! Voter Registration assistance available during lunch.
