Grace and peace to you, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ!  Friends, the weather looks particularly iffy as we will gather for worship tomorrow morning.  Please do not try to drive in if there is any question of your safety!  We will, of course, be Zooming the service, and all are welcome to join us that way.  We may not have a choir, but we will sing our hymns just as gustily, whether at home or in the sanctuary.  
 
Our scripture readings this weekend invite us to a place of holy awe and to a very specific response to God’s effect on our lives.  How do we respond to our awe?  How do we respond to the holy?  In the first of the Gospel stories of Jesus’ calling the disciples to follow him, we may hear our own call to respond.  In a time in which we may be feeling as though we lack some agency, we know that Jesus calls us to act faithfully, with trust.  Those are two things, each strengthened by the other.  As we gather in worship, praising God for God’s gifts to us and closely regarding our own selves, our own souls, we may pray together that we are always moved to compassion and toward peace.
 
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.
