Each week, a staff or lay member shares thoughts for reflection and prayer. These topics might be seasonal, they might reflect current events, or they might just reveal the writer’s inner thoughts. We hope these Evotionals spur your own spiritual journey. Feel free to contact any member of the pastoral staff for further discussion.
