Musings Along Life's Way: Celebrations!
Dear Friends,
This coming Sunday we will have the opportunity to honor our graduates and give thanks to our church musicians for a year of hard work in giving us outstanding music. So, we will celebrate. To sing is to embody prayer. To sing the singer must use her whole body. The breath is from the belly, deep with the diaphragm fully employed. To keep rhythm the singer moves, sometimes swaying with the beat. Emotions, too, are involved as they give color and flavor to the words sung. To sing is to embody prayer – to be fully involved as one gives glory to God. You are invited to come and celebrate our musicians this Sunday.
NEWS FLASH!!!
This Sunday, June 8, there will be a service of worship at the Center for Spiritual Living in celebration of Gay Pride Week. The service starts at 7 pm. I will be having a part in the service.
On July 26th, from 10 am to 12 pm, Ron Buford, the founding director of the God is Still Speaking initiative in the United Church of Christ will be coming to our church to direct a "financial development seminar." Since leaving Still Speaking Ron has been hired by the Northern California Nevada Conference to help churches in their identity and financial development. Put the date on your calendar.
Fed Ranches, from the Local Church Ministries – Evangelism Team will visit our church on June 28 and 29 as part of the process of renewing our revitalization grant for the next three years. Please try to attend church on that day.
Blessings, David
