Some of us are joyful and some of us are suffering.
As we celebrate this incredible gift we are also aware that in the past month there have been many people in our communities who have been hurting so much that they have taken their own lives.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We trust in God's promises and cling to hope in Jesus.
Following are some events and resources that may be helpful to you as you reflect Christ's love in your communities.
