With the disciples we hear Jesus' final prayer in the gospel of John. Jesus' intimate prayer to the Father models the intimacy that marks authentic relationship with God, connects us to the life-giving word, enfolds us in truth, and unifies us to share the gospel. | |
Check-in from Pastor Steve
Those of you on Facebook may have already seen Steve's post, but for those of you not on social media, we wanted to share that Steve is enjoying his time on the trail and has completed 1,400 miles. He is taking a few days off from the trail to attend his annual covenant group retreat then will rejoin the trail outside of Eugene, OR. He is grateful for this time of healing and adventure!
