Shai Azoulay Abraham “The Culturium”

Kindred in Christ,

It is hard to believe we have already arrived in June.

One day I am convinced it is finally time to turn off the heater, and the next morning I wake up wondering if I spoke too soon. The weather has a way of keeping us humble. We never quite know what we will wake up to.

Perhaps that is true of life as well.

We all like to know what lies ahead. We like clear directions, and a sense of control over the future. Yet many of life’s most meaningful journeys begin without a map.

This Sunday, we begin a two-week Pride Month worship series, “God Is Proud of You.”

In our first message, “Beloved Before Becoming,” we will meet Abraham and Sarah as they step away from everything familiar and trust God’s promise before they know where the road will lead.

Their story reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting the One who calls us forward.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we will reflect on God’s invitation to live courageously and authentically. Together, we will explore what it means to trust that we are beloved before we become.

May this season remind us that even when we cannot see the whole path ahead, God’s promise goes with us.  I hope you will join us for worship as we begin this journey together.

Grace and peace,

Pastor Anna
