Thanksgiving Breakfast: 103 Years of Gratitude

When People Search for God in Their Phones

A few weeks ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Finding God in the App Store.” It described how millions of people around the world are turning to chatbots and religious apps to find guidance, comfort, and forgiveness. These tools, trained on sacred texts, have become digital companions for those who seek hope, prayer, or understanding at any hour of the day or night.

Coffee? with David? What?

One of the things that excites me most in ministry is creating spaces for conversation. Sometimes Sunday mornings go by too quickly and there is not enough time to talk, to ask questions, or to reflect together. That is why I am starting something very special with you, Coffee with David.

This is just the beginning of greater unity and connection between our two congregations. United we are stronger. United and connected we are more resilient, and together we can dream even bigger dreams.

Resting

From the very beginning, the Bible tells us that after creating the heavens and the earth, God rested on the seventh day. This is a detail we often rush past, but it holds a beautiful truth. Pastor Edgardo Peña, once pointed out that the very last thing God created was the human being, and immediately after came God’s rest. What if this means that the rest of God is not an empty silence or a distance from creation. Rather, God's rest happens with us present. In other words, we are God’s rest.
