Coming Up on Grace Matters -
For this final program of 2007, I elected to focus on the place and power of unconditional love. There seems no better way to begin the New Year than to look at the difference that love without condition could make in our world. Just imagine what it would mean for families, communities, and nations to embrace a love that is not busy always establishing qualifications.

| Save the Date January 31 Climbing the Mountain with Matthew 7:00 pm -8:00 pm Did you miss the "Christmas Bowl" with Bishop Dave Brauer-Rieke? The “Christmas Bowl” was an experiment in stretching beyond our congregational boundaries and being together as a synod. It was relatively successful and has encouraged us to try this type of meeting one more time. Bishop Dave will be holding an on-line "Climbing the Mountain with Matthew" seminar on January 31st. This time audio will be included. Information on this event will be coming after the first of the year. Keep on the lookout. | ||||
