I can hardly believe it's Friday again.

This week was a blur of budgeting and planning and organizing and juggling all the things. It was a week of email inboxes and voicemail inboxes bursting at the seams - in the best ways. It was a delightfully full week of connecting with people outside our walls and people stopping in church for various reasons: with winter clothing for kids, to lend their hearts and hands to a task that needed to be done, or just to say hi. It was a week that had me running to IKEA to buy more forks for Saint Anne's kitchen because we've had so many large gatherings at Saint Anne's lately that we realized we often run low on forks. What a "problem" to have!

It was a week full of joy and energy and goodness and it was a week that filled my heart.

I am so grateful to be in community with each of you. I am so honored to be invited to walk with you on your paths, and to be a witness to all of the ways you love God, and each other, and the world. I am in awe of all of the ways you show up in Christ-shaped ways in all you do.

My prayer for you this week is for you to know what a gift you are. Each of you. In so many varied and wonderful and inspiring and Love-centered ways. Yes - you!

Blessings,
Jennifer
