This Sunday, we will listen to what the Bible has to say about joy in connection.

In days filled with conflict and frustration, violence and war, what does it mean to draw the circle wider by living into God’s blessing in our lives and being a blessing for others? Does blessing change us? Does blessing invite us to live differently? As we observe the Sunday in the octave of All Saints’ Day and as we join in the work of our Church Conference, we will discover together God’s blessing that is always drawing the circle wider still.
