Grace to you, and peace from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ!  On this rainy weekend when flowers are springing up and days grow noticeably longer, we look to the earth for renewal.  The Psalmist proclaimed “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof!”  We often proclaim the same, yet find ourselves in an epoch of climate change in which we are increasingly aware of the negative effects of human action on “God’s green Earth.”  In honor of Earth Day, which falls on Monday this year, we will be singing our praises of God’s creation in our hymns and anthems, and also reflecting on ways we might alter our behaviors, even in small ways, so that we steward well the gift of creation that sustains us and, we pray, will sustain our children’s children.  I look forward to worshiping with you tomorrow. 

Blessings and peace, Lisa

Worship at Home Materials:  We will be offering worship in-person as well as on Zoom this coming Sunday. Coffee & tea are available after the church service. Masks are suggested in the sanctuary and required during the singing of hymns, as the virus spreads most easily with the projection of droplets.
