Music 4 the Soul
This week, as we gather around the communion table –
imperfect, hurting, uncertain, frightened, longing –
and also absolutely loved, we need a
reminder of the truth of what HUMANITY & COMPASSION mean.
In bread that is broken, in the knowledge that Jesus is with us in our brokenness, there is hope and there is life, for all of us.
