Before every journey, there is a moment of preparation.  A moment to consider what we will carry and what we will leave behind.  We carry stories of joy and sorrow. We carry lessons learned and hopes yet to be fulfilled. We do not need to carry old resentments, lingering guilt, or fear of the future. God's grace is greater than the burdens we bear. God gathers us from many places into one community. We are fellow travelers on the road of faith. God calls us toward healing, reconciliation, and new possibilities. We come ready to pack what matters and begin the journey together.  We trust the One whose love never lets us go. Come, let us worship God.
