Today is the first Sunday in May - and so we’ll begin today to make our way through our annual May Sermon Series.

Peace. We all yearn for peace. A refuge from the anxiety of everyday life, from conflict and competition, from danger and loss. But are we prepared to accept the preconditions of peace?
