He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God WITH ALL your heart and WITH ALL your soul and WITH ALL your mind.
This is the greatest and first commandment. - Matthew 22:37-38 (NRSV)
As we stand, in times of testing, post-pandemic weariness, wider cultural shifts, health challenges, and imagining the church in a new way for a new day. We are directed to bring together all of who we are, heart, soul, and mind with our Love for God. Let us gather to celebrate our regional life in covenantal love and action. Together, we will share a time of worship, reflection, education, and renewal. Prayerfully, turned with all our being and best to the mission and ministry ahead. #WithAllPSWRDisciples
