I am just beginning my ministry in the UCC after 13 years as an RC priest as well as two with the L'Arche Daybreak community and four years with a youth homeless shelter. I too have great confidence in our future. I will help keep that positive attitude in the joyful way I live my relationships in the light of the Scriptures journeying with our people to live in the image of God in the world.

I'm spending time with many of the "under 50 ministry crowd" - and there is a huge belief that the United Church has a future. Thank God! Got the correction in there – thank you, Paul.

To embrace gratitude, to embrace possibility and hope. Maybe the message is that we come from the breath of God and to the breath of God we will return. We are creation and someday we will remember.

Odd, how the Reformer's were so adamantly against the "Popery" and unbiblical nature of the Roman calendar, but they didn't make much of a stink when these other days were sacralized.
