The story of Thomas reveals that we are not alone in our moments of doubt. Nor are we rejected because of our doubts. God's presence continues to lead us.

Ever-present, ever-patient God,
the persistence of injustice
and strife in the world often bring us to places of doubt.
As we remember the miracle of resurrection, may we also be reminded of Christ’s ongoing presence and work in the world.
Open our eyes to the truth
of Your presence.

With deep gratitude, the North Carolina Council of Churches shares that our beloved Executive Director will retire after more than two decades of faithful and courageous leadership.

Her steady guidance has strengthened our witness for justice, deepened partnerships, and built on a legacy spanning more than 90 years. Grounded in unity and a commitment to peace through justice, her leadership has helped shape a more connected and courageous faith community.

Thank you for answering the call with conviction, building strength in community, and advancing a vision of peace through justice. https://ncchurches.org/2026/03/letter-to-the-council-faithful/
