Dearly Beloved

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to witness, celebrate, and take part in something holy.We are caught in a love story. The Bible describes our relationship with God as a marriage. But what exactly does that mean? Pierre ushers us into an understanding of that beautiful, life-giving relationship. Tracing this love story throughout the Bible, Pierre invites us into the marriage love story and helps us experience: how to love with wordshow to love with delighthow to love with presencehow to love through difficultyWe are living in a time of greater isolation, disunity, and loneliness. As we learn what it means to be Dearly Beloved, that all changes. Through the metaphor of marriage, we learn how we are loved, how to love God, and how to love one another.
