Fr. Glenn: Taking The Reins

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Almost every day there seems to be a new “hate group” condemned by those who oppose what that group stands for. But if you claim that everyone who opposes your own opinion is “hating”, then who is the true “hater”? And if you claim “hate” for every opinion or stand against your own, then how will you ever consider possible errors in your own position? That’s why criticism can be very helpful: if utilized rather than discarded out of hand, it forces us to reassess, consider other viewpoints, and perhaps refine what and why we believe.

A Blessing for “When Church Breaks Your Heart” by Dr. Kate Bowler

“Blessed are you standing among the ruins of a family of faith that once felt so sturdy, now turned to dust under your feet.
The certainty you once had, gone. The community you loved, dissipated.
The hope you held dear, hard to find.
Instead, what’s taken up residence is the very stuff that seems counter to what you imagined:

United Church To Provide Family Fun Sundays In August

United Church News:

Formerly calling it Vacation Bible School, The United Church of Los Alamos is radically making August Sunday Evenings, into something like summer camp, but for all ages.

The two hours (5-7 p.m.) will be packed with supper for all, age-appropriate arts and crafts, Bible stories and study, lots of music and singing, movie making, games, and rock hunts.

The theme, LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! leads into the story of the early church in the Book of Acts and zooms in on the local congregation today and how they, too, act as disciples of Jesus.
