for children ages 3 through Grade 5 meets Sunday mornings
following the Message for the Whole Family of God. We will meet in our new space, the space formerly known as the Youth Room (across from kitchen).
I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday after being away for three weeks. I look forward to seeing you!
The focus of the hymns and sermon this Sunday is faith in difficult times. We face difficult times in our personal lives. And I think you’d agree that we’re living through difficult times in our world. It can be discouraging. It can lead to despair. In the face of that, God offers us hope! That’s what we’ll look at this Sunday. That’s what we’ll share. Whether in-person or online, I hope you’ll join me and our worship leaders. Also, my wife, Rebecca, will share her harp music with us.
As noted above, our Scripture Reading will be Psalm 62, verses 5-12. I invite you to read it in advance. At the following link are two translations: an inclusive language translation and a translation written in the second person as a prayer. If you will be worshipping with us online, I invite you to print out a copy and have it with you as I’ll be referring to it during the service. Click here for LINK
To refer to a phrase from the psalm, “May God be our rock and our refuge.
Hope to see you Sunday.
All God’s blessings, Pastor Vern
