We welcome you!
... may all of us know God's presence with us, even in the whirlwinds of life.
We cannot find ourselves apart from God, in spite of all life's uncertainties and challenges.
May we also realize that we have nothing to fear from change, for Christ himself has transformed
the world in his life, death, and resurrection. Indeed, "if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation."
(II Cor 5:17) ... may we find our comfort in the One who calmed the sea … the One who created us,
who saved us by His grace, and who sustains us in this life and in the life to come. Amen."
- The Rt. Rev. Charles G. vonRosenberg,
from a sermon titled, "An Ending and a New Beginning"
June 21, St. Mark, Copperhill
