Pastor Carolyn Hetrick of Grace Lutheran Church, State College, PA begins a series on the fruits of the Spirit inspired by Galatians 5:22-23. Each week, we'll explore how one of the fruits of the Spirit given to help us live the love of Christ together is seen in everyday faith. This Week: Pastor Carolyn is joined by the Rev. Aaron Decker, (he/him) a Theological Educator in Bolivia with ELCA Service and Justice (Global Mission). He has passions for world languages, textual ambiguity, and education as liberation. He lives with his cat, Moses; like in Exodus, Aaron might talk more, but Moses is definitely in charge.We talk about what it means to be church today especially in the midst of great struggle and suffering, but being church for the sake of the other. For Pastor Aaron's webpage that has many faith formation resources available in English, Spanish and Aymara, visit: http://revaarond.comToday's closing music is "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling," Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Rowland H.
