We got a letter from the mailman yesterday.
A real letter, written longhand and signed. Imagine! Who ever heard of getting
a letter from the mailman? Delivered
by the mailman, yes, but from him?
Randy brought us the mail all winter. This
spring his family chose to move to Kingston. He sent us a postcard from his new
home. He wrote to Joan and me, saying thank you for time together, however
brief (mail carriers move quickly!). He remembered that we had shared
chocolates with him too.
This church is a place of welcome and
hospitality, where each person is important. You are important. You matter.
Our mail carrier found sweets and welcome in
your church. I trust you share that sweet hospitality too.
I send this letter with warmth as a reminder
that you are cherished at the heart of God, and here in your church.
Blessings,
The Rev. Dr. Catherine Faith MacLean
