Grace and peace be with you! As we remember our country’s beginnings this July 4th holiday weekend, we will consider stories of our spiritual beginnings, as well. Our sermon series, Faces of Faith, gives us the story of Genesis 2 this Sunday (to which I am adding a small portion of chapter 3). Together, we’ll remember the story of Eve and Adam’s creation, their initial connection in the garden, and the quick deterioration in human relations. I hope that you’ll join us for worship online. We’ll also celebrate communion together online this Sunday. You’re encouraged to prepare a table in your home for worship on Sunday. Any food and drink will do to remember Jesus’ life and calling. Stories of our human relations are also stories of grief. And so, I will leave you with a poem from Jan Richardson that we read together on Tuesday morning this week during our prayer group: Blessing for the Brokenhearted by Jan Richardson Let us agreePeace, Billy |
