Gabriel’s Assurance

Prayer of Confession

We confess we focus on the noise and fail to hear you. We are visited by angels and still don’t get it. Forgive us. As we pause in the silence may we once again hear Gabriel’s words of assurance and hope.

[time of silence]

Assurance

Hope is on the way. Hope never left you. Hope created you and you are Hope’s beloved. 

[moment of silence]

Share the Good News of the approaching savior with your neighbor. Amen.

 Passing of the Peace
You are God’s beloved.

As are you.

Tim is a runner, a hiker, a devoted husband, a father of two adult children, and their spouses, and a grandfather of four perfect children. A former early childhood educator, Tim is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served as pastor of both Disciples and United Church of Christ congregations. As we enter what we hope is the final phase of the pandemic, Tim is beginning a journey of rediscovering himself and discerning next steps. He writes from his home in Albany, Oregon and wherever the Spirit lures him.
