THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Forgiveness means it finally becomes unimportant that you hit back. You're done. It doesn't necessarily mean that you want to have lunch with the person. If you keep hitting back, you stay trapped in the nightmare...
― Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith
YOUTH GROUP
Join us this Sunday for the First Sunday (of the month) Up@10 in the Youth Loft. Weather permitting, we’ll walk to Alon’s for breakfast at 10:05, so please be prompt. Bring $10 max for breakfast.
