 “According to The Telegraph, a recent study found that the average woman, in the course of her lifetime, spends almost one year standing in front of her closet deciding what to wear. The study -- which polled 2,491 women and was based on an adult lifetime from age 16 to 60 -- found that women spend an average of 16 minutes deciding what to wear on weekday mornings and 14 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays, for a whopping 287 days spread out over their lives.”

This Sunday we will explore The Anatomy of Love: And the Truth Shall set you Free. The scripture, 2 John 1:4-8, is one of three letters attributed to John. We will explore the vital life-giving connection between love and truth. 

Loving one another is so critical to a follower of Jesus that it is not something we can put on a shelf in a closet or in a donation box. Love defines us as followers of Jesus, who taught us this simple rule for life: Love God. Love people. 

United Methodist Bishop Sue Halpert-Johnson once shared: “Regardless of what else you put on, put on love. It is your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.” 

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday in church! Invite a friend to join you.

Peace,

Pastor Cathy Johns
