Sorry friends, I have to cancel this evening. The seasonal allergies (or cold) has gotten the best of me it seems. Sincerest apologies.

In Christ's abundant love,

Living the Mystery: Called into Relationship

What does it mean to follow a God who is bigger than our understanding yet closer than our breath?

This Trinity Sunday, we will explore ancient scriptures that invite us into wonder, relationship, and purpose. Together we will reflect on humanity's place within creation, the call to live in peace and community, and Christ's invitation to become disciples who carry love, justice, and hope into the world.

Rather than trying to explain the mystery of God, we will explore what it means to live within that mystery—created by love, connected through grace, and sent by the Spirit to make a difference in the world.

Whether your faith is strong, questioning, or somewhere in between, you are welcome to join us as we discover anew what it means to be held by God and called into relationship with one another and all creation.

Come and be inspired. Come and be challenged. Come and be renewed.

🤱✝️🕊️

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

Dearest Coughlan Family,

I wanted to share a small administrative update with you:

After eight months of ministry together, we have settled into a rhythm that is working well, and I have established Friday and Saturday as my regular days off(starting next week). Of course, ministry is often unpredictable, and in the case of funerals, weddings, pastoral emergencies, or other significant needs, I will gladly adjust my schedule and take time off on alternate days.

As a result, our weekly worship bulletins will now be prepared on Thursdays. If you have announcements, notices, or other items for inclusion, I would be grateful if they could be emailed to me by 12:00 noon on Thursdays whenever possible.

On my days off, I will continue to monitor phone calls. If I am unable to answer, please leave a message—especially if there is a pastoral emergency or urgent need. Even when I am away from the office, I remain committed to walking alongside you in times of joy, concern, celebration, and sorrow.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and for the many ways you contribute to the life of our church community. It is a privilege and a blessing to share in ministry with you.

May God continue to bless and guide us as we journey together in faith.

With abundant love in Christ,
James
♥️🙏
