Our text this week calls us to rejoice and not worry, to pray with thanksgiving and the peace of God will be with us...all in the context of a week that has gripped us with the suffering of so many in Japan and around the world. Pastor Gail brings a word of hope that resonates inside of Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane.
It is a hope that is found not apart from the realities of this broken world but a hope and a peace that promises to be present in the midst.
