Happy Mother’s Day!
This weekend we celebrate and give thanks for all the women who gave us life. Mother’s Day is an opportunity for us to remember and honour our mothers for their kindness, selflessness and generosity. As we celebrate these women, we pray together as a faith community and acknowledge this gift that God has given to us.
This term, The Soul is back with more prayer and inspiration starting with an exploration of community. Did you know that the desire for community is not only written on our hearts, but is woven into all of creation? Author and Evangelist Rick Warren says, “we are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God’s purposes by ourselves.” God created us uniquely for His purposes, and each of us has an important role to play. God never expected us to fulfill our purpose alone, so He gifted us to each other, for community is where holiness is cultivated. Let’s reflect on the gift of our community as we deep-dive into The Soul this week.
