We had a wonderful kind of mission reunion today with guests Saren Loosli and Deborah Dushku who were both Sister missionaries in Bulgaria when I first joined the church  Within the context of missionary work and the gathering of Israel We talked about what it means to create a feeling of belonging in our community of faith. Much of that connection begins as we learn & remember how deeply and belovedly we belong to Jesus Christ. From there our love for God and others grows exponentially.
