The following are excerpts from Father Birch’s words in introduction to our fall giving pledge campaign:

“In these times, the Church has been blown to and fro by many winds (Eph. 4), and Resurrection has not been immune. Amid struggle and change, though, we have been able to look beyond ourselves, to try new things, and, even in a time of drought, to bear much fruit. We are rooted and grounded in love–in the love of our neighbors, in the love of ourselves, and in the love of God. . .”

“Remember, though, as we blossom, that all we do has a purpose beyond ourselves. ‘The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.’ (Rev. 22) In us our whole community is rooted and grounded in love.”

Peace,
Fr. Birch+
