to go where love leads and to serve where love calls
These are the purposes of the New England synod; let’s make them our own at Ascension!
Where we will be called by love we don’t know. But neither did Jesus. Life kept happening to him, and he responded. Isn’t that the same for us?
The Gospel text for this Sunday (Mark 1:21-28) is an exorcism; Jesus’ power prevails against death and disease. Today, we think of psychological or emotional illness as the equivalent of demon possession and are grateful for all healers, including ourselves. God is not neutral about wanting abundant life for all humanity and God’s good creation! Even though we still struggle against all that diminishes life, the Power of Love and Life is ultimately the strongest truth.
Where are you called to love and serve? Come and understand yourself and the world more deeply and find encouragement to love. Come to church this Sunday! We welcome you.
