Surviving Tough Times
This 4-part series looks to our spiritual heritage for examples of people who have survived tough times. Others before us have leaned into the Gospels and let God’s mercy flow through them as they took on the challenges of their day. Let their stories inspire you now. Please join us for one or more of these evenings on Zoom!
Tues., Oct 13, 6:30-8:30 pm
Tues., Oct 27, 6:30-8:30 pm
Tues., Nov. 3, 6:30-8:30 pm
All programs are offered remotely. Scholarships are available because everyone is welcome at Cranaleith. Please email info@cranaleith.org so we can assist you.

Dear Friends:
How are you doing? Every week the ground shifts: another upheaval! Our plans have shriveled. Difficulties pile on. How are you in all this turmoil?
The gentle voice of God lovingly reminds us we are not alone. We build the Kingdom with God. And God equips us with what we need.
Your mettle is being tested. Gather strength through upcoming programs at Cranaleith! Know that we walk with you and pray for you.

Reflect From Home
Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A Isaiah 25:6-10a; Philippians 4:12-14. 19-20; and Matthew 22:1-14
READING:
Not receiving many invitations these days, huh? Only immediate family members can attend weddings, baptisms and graduations. Many people are cutting back on visits. Staff meetings, classes and business meetings, conferences, sporting events and carnivals, all curtailed. Besides pandemic concerns, fires, hurricanes and protests keep us apart. With all the turmoil, we aren’t in the mood to party anyway. Read more
FOR REFLECTION:
- What have you been struggling with that you have not brought to prayer? Hear God’s promise to protect you and dump it roundly in God’s lap.
- Which of God’s five promises appeals most to you? How can you embody it for someone else?
