Grace and peace to you, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! On the wall of my kitchen, there is a stenciled phrase from M.F.K. Fisher left from the previous owner of my house, Bonnie. It reads, “First we eat, then we do everything else.” So, honoring Bonnie, I would first like to remind everyone that we are going to be getting together this afternoon at 4:30 in Fisher Hall for fun and food, Bingo and Chili/Soup! Thanks to Lisa Groo and Ruth Miller for organizing us (details in previous eVisitors)! For those that are interested, you also may like to attend our own Gale Flax’s presentation at the library, on her walking the Camino in Spain last spring. This begins at 3:00.
We gather for worship in person tomorrow for the first time in three weeks! I look forward to seeing everyone, whether in the sanctuary or online, when we hear about some of the deepest mysteries of our faith from Paul and also the deepest challenges from Jesus. In our own demanding times, we can take heart that God’s promises are sure, even to the end of days, and we can support one another in the just and righteous living to which we are called. Jesus helps us to answer the question, “how, then, shall we live?”
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.
