Our Mission

God's plenty is a matchless wonder of apple and grape, squash and pumpkin, lemon and pomegranate.

As we move now into the new year, as in each new season, we're reminded of God's providential care. It's in the renewal of sky and earth, in his fastidious attention to mountain laurel and flitting bird. Everywhere we see the signs of abundance, of love and grace.

Let the measure of this season’s ardor for gift and blessing be upon you!

As you visit this site, our hope is that
it calls out to you, our sister or brother,
in a solicitude of joyous fellowship.

Let the words and images here be food for the spirit. Let the report of the goodness of God be upon all of us, and there will be rejoicing in the land.

We hope you'll find the pages here a ready instrument of love’s unbounded power for
...

  • drawing those at a distance near and
  • singing the song of high regard for the world and God who made it.

May God's blessings continue to keep you in the months ahead.

Ever yours in Christ,

-- Rev. Edward Scott
