This was our first month as a newly organized congregation in the heart of our Capital, Washington, D.C. This month we've encouraged children through play, grown our businesses, promoted the best in people, stood up for the oppressed, remained faithful to our spouses, provided warm and secure homes, read great books, spoke the truth about unpleasant things, joined in marriage, resisted arrogance, confronted the eternal adversary, paid close attention to people, assisted the hungry, brought peace, offered hospitality to friends and strangers, kept the sacred fire burning, and, most of all, lived and shared the good news of Jesus Christ. Life is not meaningless - we are happy in God.
