Our Annual HOPE Appeal campaign kicks off this week. You have been sent a letter from Bishop Cunningham asking for you financial support of our larger church
family. I am asking each family to prayerfully consider a gift in support of the HOPE Appeal. The HOPE Appeal helps many. Join with me in giving your support. We are all called upon to return something to the Lord for all the
Lord has given us.

May 14, 2017 5th Sunday of
Easter “Have I been with you for
so long a time and you still do not know me,
Philip?” —John 14:9
We are reminded today that spreading the word about Christ did not go smoothly in the early church. Understanding and accepting Jesus was a slow and often unsuccessful
process. It may seem different now, but if we consider our own questions and struggles with faith,
we realize that our commitment is not formed overnight. It is often subject to life circumstances that challenge our faith. There is still work to be done in
spreading the good news. If we want to contribute to the effort, we might begin with ourselves.
