April 21, 2013 - Earth Sunday
The Messages:The preceding horrific week saw the Marathon bombings and the West Texas fertilizer plant explosion - both, taking innocent lives and consuming our attention. Earth Sunday offered a respite from that emotional turmoil and Ruth's sermon, "Like a Tree," provided the perfect shelter from those devastating events. Penny's time with the children focused on how, like a tree, we can weather storms if we have deep roots based on family and God. It was a lesson for all ages.
Sunday's Music:
Beryl and our Senior Choir, in their musical offerings, continued the theme of God's gracious gift of shelter to all of us.- Prelude: "For the Beauty of the Earth" (arr. Thallander)
- The Senior Choir, directed by Beryl Samia: "All Rise"
- Postlude: "The Lord is My Light"
