of these folks are in wheelchairs and could not come to church
without us. For more information, please sign up at the UCC Front

FR. ISAAC HECKER QUOTE
All that the soul can ask, and what ought surely
to be granted, is to follow faithfully the
invitations of grace and the impulses of Gods
Spirit. If the soul is guided by the Holy Spirit, it
would not do the least thing contrary to faith or
the church, for we are taught inwardly by the
Holy Spirit and outwardly by the holy
church in the same grace. [Spiritual
Notebook, 1854]
