Dear Friends,
Whether it’s the sun piercing through storm clouds or dancing on the leaves of a tree, the images can remind us of God’s faithfulness. Whether the joy and jubilee of life lifts us up or the sad sordid hubris of life gets us down, there is something underneath that bolsters our spirits, gives us strength, shows us a way, helps us keep believing no matter what. That something is God’s ever faithful love—tender and fierce, gentle yet strong, specific to each of us yet all-encompassing. Despite the storms, both natural and human-made, that swirl around us, we reach out to each other somehow knowing that God is among us, that God works in and through us and for us each and every minute of every day. We understand that when we experience a sisterly hug of support in community. We know that when we hear from each of you. Thank you for believing in God’s faithfulness with us!
Ps. 117:2 …the faithfulness of God endures forever.
With grateful hearts,
Sisters Sharon Pollnow, Peg Spindler, Madeline Gianforte, and Lael Niblick
CSA’s General Council, 2022-2026
