Dear
Bermuda Synod,
This
letter finds me in a place of deep heartache in hearing of Hurricane Nicole’s
landfall in your midst. Seeing photos
and video that depict destruction and hardship have been reminding me that life
is indeed fragile and that mother nature is ever powerful and changing. Through all of these challenges, know that
you are being held in love and prayer by all of Maritime Conference.
As
an Island nation, I am well aware that this kind of weather is almost too
familiar to you, but nonetheless devastating each time it hits. However, I also know that you are a resilient
and determined people, and that your compassion and care for each other is what
will get you through this disaster as it has so many before it. Your churches and people never cease to amaze
me with their faith and strength, so as you assess the damage, I have great
assurance that your love and courage are among those things that have not
suffered because of this storm.
With
assurance that after storms, come opportunities for life and growth once more,
know that God’s love surrounds you, as do the prayers and support of all of our
communities here in Maritime Conference.
Love
and Blessings,
The
Rev. Catherine Stuart,
President
