Dear Friends in Christ –
Rev. Brian Henderson, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church on James Island, brought the word to our reconvened Community Thanksgiving Service Tuesday evening. I mean he brought it!
The Lukan text of the ten lepers who called out to Jesus as he is on his way to Jerusalem could be centered on many things – boldness, healing, gratitude. But Pastor Brian’s message was that though only one man returned to Jesus, that man was a Samaritan – again the man even further on the margin – and he returned ecstatically
praising God.
thanking Jesus God.
Why would we not do the same? Let's take a moment from the chaos, the corruption, the craziness to breathe deeply above our boots and let ourselves smile that we are so loved.
Grateful to be your pastor.
Best love,
