Grace and peace, my sisters and brothers in Christ,   My heart is hurting. Yesterday there was a school shooting in Denver and then there was in Utah, the assassination of the young husband and father Charlie Kirk. Today is the day we remember the violence of 9/11. These things added to a series of shootings and violent events: Minnesota lawmakers were murdered in their home in front of their children… the incumbent President has had two assassination attempts… so far this year, according to a pastor friend, we have had 47 shootings in high schools and colleges in America. Two Wednesdays ago, just before we went into our school’s chapel, we learned about Annunciation school where children were gunned down while in worship. Please understand me, this is not about politics—sadly, the national conversation goes too quickly to this. It is about something more important. It is about humanity. It is about living together in peace. It is about letting the light shine in the darkness. This weekend we will be talking about whether we believe a person can change. And I will broaden this to whether we believe the world can change. It is my hope that we will remember that it can. And that we are called to make that change happen. Even with people with whom we disagree. I look forward to worshipping with you this weekend. Blessings,
