Hello Members and Friends of Elim, 

Here's a video which is funny and truthful from an Episcopal priest. Even though our Episcopalian brothers and sisters aren't celebrating Holy Communion as we are, this is still a wonderful reminder for us that we won't be doing online worship forever. 
One day - we'll all be together - IN PERSON!! - again! 

In the meantime, God's peace, patience and grace shine upon you, 
Pastor Kathryn 

P.S. This priest's song is a take off from one of the songs in the musical Hamilton. 

​I don't know about you, but I get down. I sometimes feel tired and frustrated from month after  month of sheltering in place - of not being able to go over to a friend's house, or walk into a store, or worrying about whether our son will be able to return to Pacific Lutheran University next month for his senior year. I read in the newspapers or see on the news about so many people who are struggling with lack of employment, housing insecurity or being ill with COVID. And I worry about our members who are going through some medical issues, some uncertainty and pain. 

My husband, Pr. Thomas Gable, passed this song along to me. It changed my attitude. It brought some beauty and grace into my spirit. 

As the singer sings, "Everyday may not be good, but there is good in every day." 

I hope you find God's  grace for you in this song. 

And I hope you know that I keep all of you in my prayers - everyday. 

God's Peace,
Pastor Kathryn
