Message from Rev. Irene Ty:
10am July 6th:
“Bear one another’s burdens” is what St. Paul writes to the early Christians in Galatia (Gal. 6:2) He describes to them what a Christian community strives for: one that is supportive of one another and one that holds each other accountable. Paul reminds them and us that it is the Spirit who guides, empowers and works through us. How can we share in each other’s burdens? How do we lift each other up? Looking forward to reflecting on this passage with you this Sunday.
