WEEKLY UPDATE | AUGUST 24 2010
Dear Church,
Let these words from today's lectionary wash over you:
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
Here is some news from our community.

Converting The Church | the temple
| And in him you (plural) too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
God is looking for a home---and we are that home! Can our church be a place where God can live, feel comfortable, make the family decisions? Can we surrender that much control to him?
