“Blessed are the poor in spirit.” are the first words of Jesus in the first section of teaching in the first book of the New Testament. Guest speaker Rev. Austin Hornyak will present this week’s service and share his thoughts on what these words tell us about the nature of spiritual life.
Rev. Austin Hornyak joins us from Shelburne, Vermont. He attended Duke Divinity School and has served United Methodist congregations in North Carolina and his native western Pennsylvania. For the past ten years, he has worked at Howard Center in Burlington as a social worker supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Rev. Hornyak enjoys spending time with his partner Yasamin and her daughter, hiking, reading, doing crossword puzzles, and spoiling his cat, Quinn.
