May 2015

5/1/2015

 
In this week of tragic loss and devastation brought about by extremities of both earthly and human turmoil, we embark on a month-long sojourn with the worship theme of “Hope” – at this moment nothing seems more appropriate…or more challenging.

“Hope requires that we experience and participate in life’s multiple-dimensions, not just in its pleasant aspects. To believe that we could fend off difficulty, deny the darkness, and find peace by clutching our little candle of hope away from the messiness of life, shielding it in a protective corner beyond the reach of the wind, is to deny hope its power. Hope must be brought to bear on life as it is.”  ~ Julie E. Neraas

  • Apprenticed to Hope: A Sourcebook for Difficult Times - by Julie E. Neraas 
  • The Impossible Will Take a Little While - a citizen's guide to hope in a time of fear,
    a timely and honest anthology of hope, edited by Paul Rogat Loeb. 
  • An Interrupted Life and Letters from Westerbork - by Etty Hillesum.
    The diary and 
    letters of a vibrant, articulate and artistic young woman
    writing in Nazi-occupied 
    Amsterdam.
