Dear Community,

"The future is created out of that which, coming forth from the spiritual world, is guided by angels and archangels who bring fresh forces and possibilities to mankind. This can bring something new and surprising–something that has never been seen before and could never have been predicted."
~ Hans Werner Schroeder.

We are walking into a future with many uncertainties but we can find our ground and guiding force in our trust in the spiritual world. We are blessed to be able to come together to create Christ Community. This is the time to gather our forces! It doesn't mean much if you have trust when everything is going splendidly. This is the moment to say "yes" to creating something anew. In the words of David Whyte:

"The measure of our courage is the measure of our willingness to embrace disappointment, to turn towards it rather than away.....that there is no sincere path we can follow where we will not be fully and immeasurably let down and brought to earth, and where what initially looks like a betrayal, eventually puts real ground under our feet."

I am very glad to be here and I am ready to begin working together. I would like to hear from you. What are your ideas, imaginations, creative impulses for the coming year? What gifts would you like to bring to The Christian Community? What are your needs, wishes, hopes?

I have found great value in one-on-one conversations. Please feel free to set up a time with me to talk. I am living right now in the church and the yellow house, so you can find me easily. I know that it has been a difficult year and there may be those of you who need to resolve things in your own soul before you can be free to go forward. I am open to conversation or the Sacrament of Consultation to help with the healing process.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Sincerely,
Rev. Carol Kelly
