This Sunday at Peace

Scripture: Luke 24:13-35

a note from Holly

My parents were both newspaper people. They met in a Spanish class at TCU in 1956 and discovered they both worked at the Ft. Worth Star Telegram.

I’ve always had an appreciation for journalists—and all the folks behind the scene who get the news out. When I was home last week, I took my mother to see an exhibition at the Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth on “Black Photojournalism.” We might have seen 20% of it; it was so rich and there was so much to absorb.

I left, though, with a deeper respect for what it takes to be a “witness.” It’s clearly a calling, just like it was for the early Christians who followed the resurrection story with colorful accounts of the risen Christ.

This week we will reflect on the faith of those who went before—witnessing. What is our role, now, as people whose country and faith have been defiled by evil and corruption? How do we speak up and out with courage and conviction?

Thankful for your commitment to witness to God’s grace and justice.
