I trust that the some of the most beloved words of Jesus will offer something you need to hear today. And that would be more than enough. But there is more to the Beatitudes than what we first hear.

In her stewardship letter this year, Kate reminded us that many Christ Churchers throughout history have laid various cornerstones around this property and embarked on many renovation projects, not knowing who all would benefit from those efforts down the line. And now it’s our turn. We are standing on our own Mt. Pisgah, with a stunning view of a renewed physical plant and the good and holy work that is possible within and because of it. But none of us will get to hang around long enough to see all of that good and holy work. We completed this project for us and for future generations. We took the long and wide view.
