Dear Friends,
One of the Scripture passages we will hear on Sunday is Psalm 100. It is familiar to many of us, and as I was doing research for my sermon, I looked up The Message translation of Psalm 100.
Enter with the password: “Thank you!”
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank God. Worship God.
Imagine if we started and ended each day with "Thank you, God!" Would our spirits feel lighter and our hearts happier? There is a lot of sadness, injustice and frustration in our personal lives and in the world, and there is also grace, compassion and beauty.
This Sunday let us come together to give thanks for the gifts of community, nature and beauty. We will worship at 9:30 a.m. in the Meetinghouse and online.
The bulletin, large print bulletin and announcement slides are available on our website. You can watch any of our livestreamed or recorded services on our YouTube channel.
On Sunday, as our opening hymn, we will sing For the Beauty of the Earth.
For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Let us live with grateful hearts this day and always!
Take care,
Kate
