Blue Hill’s Memorial Day remembrance will include a church float in the annual parade, as well as Pastor Lisa offering a prayer at the bridge. Anyone wanting to walk in the parade is invited to do so, and we also would like two members to volunteer to carry the church banner while doing so. Please let Lisa know during or after church tomorrow if you are interested!
Christ’s own heartfelt prayer “that they may all be one” is at the center of this week’s lectionary text. In a month that has been full of devastation and loss of life due to gun violence, we may join with our own prayers for unity in a way forward that includes close consideration of how we allow guns to proliferate in our culture. In what and in whom do we place our trust? How might we be willing to look at freedom in what are perhaps new and different ways when we consider the experience of Paul and Silas in Philippi? As we come together for worship, I invite us to join in prayer and in conversation that may help us to begin the work of healing in our lives and in our nation.
Peace, Lisa
