"they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths."
This passage got me to wondering where those prophets are among us today...
May you discover God showing up your life and the the life of our faith community in familiar and new ways.

Each year on Ash Wednesday, we receive instruction concerning disciplines for Lent.
Over forty days, we are invited to take time for:
self examination
repentance
prayer
fasting
sacrificial giving
works of love
Over forty days, I invite you at night to take time reviewing your day:

Where did I hear No today?
What emotions stayed with me?
What sensations stayed with me?
What questions are repeating?
On the eve of the Inauguration, we join today with other houses of worship in the DC area to honor and collectively grieve the 400,000+ people in our nation who have died of COVID-19.

She calls on city leaders to "do better."
Christmas Eve is only a week away! We'll have service online at 4pm, and we are excited to share an outdoor service with our friends at @LutherPlace at 6:30pm! Please join us for carols and prayer as we light Thomas Circle with candlelight. (Masks and distancing required.)
