Love’s Witness: A Reflection on Divine and Human Love

This article was written by Therese Brennan, Epiphany’s Adult Formation Minister

Wedding Hands“I love you. No matter what. And there is nothing you can do about it.” Given to me during a retreat, I’ve passed this saying along during workshops by inviting parents to say this to their children (and vice versa) or spouses to repeat this to one another.” It is something I believe God wishes us to hear from God each and every moment of our lives. Not simply to know it’s true but to believe it with our “whole heart, mind and soul.”

Human beings relate to our world through relationships. Thus I cling to our church’s understanding of marriage and watch with awe couples committed to one another every day of their lives.

July Prayer for the Military

War is a horrible reality in our world.  Many times we stand hopeless in the face of such tragedy.  However, our Church teaches us that prayer is a powerful tool.  Praying for men and women in harm's way, praying for an end to war, praying for all of us adversely affected by war is a strong response to our current reality of war.

To help us remember to pray for our loved ones in the military serving throughout the world, as well as for an end to all wars, a special display will be made available in the Gathering Area.  If you have pictures of service men and women you would like to be in the display, please place them in the white basket found in the gathering area.
