This week we conclude our sermon series, “Remaining Faithful in a Fractured Nation”, and honored the saints we've lost in the past year. We were reminded that we all have a part to play as the hands, the feet, the eyes, and the body of Christ.  We have all seen the harm, the pain, the recklessness, the corruption, and the cruelty of the past two years, and as a witness to our faith we vote on Tuesday to bring an end to this suffering for ourselves, for our neighbors, for our children and grandchildren, and for the world.  We are called to be agents of Christ’s love today, tomorrow, on Election Day, and even the day after.  Elections alone do not change anything, the real work begins on Wednesday, when we get up - regardless of the outcome - and once again join Christ in his life-giving work in the world.
