Today's gospel tells the story of Jesus moving his ministry to Capernaum, a gateway to the the land of the Gentiles. Jesus didn't go alone; on the way he was gathering his disciples to form a community around his teachings. In a similar way, we are embarking on a new mission, as Pastor Lorne has accepted a new call. Change brings uncertainty for all of us, but the strength of community will help us (and Pastor Lorne) continue to live and love like Jesus.
