by Rev. Jenny Smith Walz ‘”You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything but is thrown out and trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. People do not light a lamp and put it under the bushel basket; rather, they put it on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” - Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus said we are the light of the world and the salt of the earth! God’s Holy Spirit spark dwells in each of us, “strangely warming” our hearts, setting us on fire to love and to serve. And God has created each of us just as we are: unique, gifted, called in particular ways. God gathers us together, each of our sparks, each of our uniquenesses, combining to enliven, to flavor this world, and to build God’s kingdom of love, joy, and belonging. Let’s fan the spark, awaken to our gifts, our styles, our passions, and our callings, and let God’s light shine bright.
We are a diverse faith community, engaged in enlivening spiritually thirsty people to joyfully respond to God’s love and grow as disciples of Christ, so that together we may experience the fullness of life.
