Creation Reveals the Creator

Creation reveals the Creator: when we notice creation, we notice the Creator. Enjoying God's gift of nature lowers our blood pressure, improves our mental health and brings us in touch with God's eternal purposes. When you hear a bird’s song or see spring flowers this week, give praise to God:
This is my Father's/Mother's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's/Mother's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
God's hand the wonders wrought.
Pleased to Announce

MCCLV is pleased to announce that Bam Noriega, Minister for Outreach & Justice, is the recipient of the Henry Gerdsen Memorial Prize from Moravian Seminary in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The Gerdsen Prize is awarded in recognition of intellectual, personal and professional growth, as well as a commitment to involvement in the Seminary community. Praise God for this recognition and appreciation of Minister Noriega's gifts and graces.
