For the past five years, rostered leaders have been encouraging and consoling one another with the words of Mordecai: that who knows whether we have been called into ministry “for such a time as this.” Mordecai’s ancient wisdom helped sustain us through a global pandemic and through challenging days in our own times. But today? Life and ministry have become even more challenging. The daily news gives one whiplash. And the divisiveness in our society and in our communities is breaking our hearts. So, let’s get together:
