New Week Message
“Who are you?”; said the Cheshire cat to Alice, in the Alice in Wonderland story.
The book was written by Anglican pastor; Luis Carol, to encourage adults and children to read and think. Many lessons, therein, about our journey!
So: “Who am I?”
ELCA Lutherans have some thinking suggestions as we consider; “Who am I?”
First: We are beloved by God. We are created and saved even from death by the direct intervention of God by Jesus, going through death for us. We’re given teachings of Jesus about how to have a good and prosperous life, and be our best selves.
Second: We live with paradoxes. We are very good people. But we're not perfect. Thus, at the same time, we are both a saint and a sinner. Yet always beloved by God!
Third: We have gifts. These include talents to use, enjoy, help, and contribute through life. From God's gifts to us, we get great meaning.
If you want to explore who you are as a Christian and your purpose, without having somebody impose upon you, but help you think, worship, appreciate, and connect with God…and safe people… Then, may I suggest that New Hope is for you..…
Here we go!

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends
