Minister’s Corner Fear Not, The End
I’ve been talking about the unsettling nature of this political season for a few months now. The good news is that, in theory at least, the finish line is in sight. I remind you again that as the birth of Christ approached, “Be Not Afraid” was the common refrain. It was an uneasy world then, as it is now. Once the birth occurred, the culmination of all those “Fear Nots” was the proclamation of “peace on Earth” to the shepherds in the fields. I hope you join me in the prayer that after the rancor of this divisive election, we all might experience some peace. Peace, Scott Sanctuary Space On election night, no matter the outcome, some of you will be happy and relieved while others will be distraught. Watching the returns can be stressful. Waking up to reality can be gut wrenching. For that reason, I am committed to opening our sanctuary on election night, November 5, from 6:30-8:30 pm and on the following morning, November 6 from 9:00-11:00 am. At that time, the sanctuary will be just that, a sanctuary that offers calm and peace—a nonpartisan sanctuary for you to come and pray, light a candle, speak to me, if you wish, unplug from media, and turn to God with your hopes and fears.
