It Is So Good
One Sunday a few weeks ago, one of our young members, just turned two, was in the pew with her parents. As I broke the bread during the Great Thanksgiving, into that holy silence came the loud joyful words, "It is so good," from the two-year old. She was speaking of the bread, but I had a sense of the entire church experience being SO GOOD. As the 10:00am Sunday service ended this week, I was thinking about the goodness of God and our parish - the way we come together to celebrate our faith every week, the way members of our church care for each other, the energy of our services that are so blessed by God, the devotion of our people, the commitment of our youth...much more could be said but it really needs to be experienced to be understood. The more we take part in Christian community, the more we give ourselves to God and each other, the more we grow in our knowledge of how good it is.

How is it that children capture the very meaning of the moment and the occasion? This is a special memory for the child, the parents, and the congregation. Special for us because two people who love the child more than life itself could read your message and share in the blessing from afar. Thank you.
