Wrightsboro United Methodist Church

Good morning, Wrightsboro Family!



I hope this week has been kind to you and that you’ve found moments of peace in the midst of all the busyness. As we move toward Sunday, I want to invite you to take a deep breath, pause for a moment, and remember that God’s love surrounds you—no matter where you are or what you’re carrying today.

 

This Sunday, we’ll be diving into Luke 13:31-35, a passage where Jesus speaks about his deep desire to gather God’s people together, using the image of a mother hen gathering her chicks under her wings. It’s such a powerful reminder that God’s love isn’t distant or indifferent—it’s personal, protective, and always reaching out to bring us close. And yet, we don’t always make it easy, do we? Life pulls us in so many directions, and sometimes we resist the very grace that is trying to hold us together.

 

So, I wonder—what does it mean to let ourselves be gathered by God? How do we step into the safety and love that Jesus offers? And what would it look like for our church to be a place where others can find that same sense of belonging and care?

 

I hope you’ll join us for worship this Sunday as we reflect on these questions together. Come ready to rest in God’s presence, to be encouraged, and to grow in faith as a community. See you Sunday!



Grace and peace,

Pastor Tyler
