Delight

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

What makes your heart sing? A few weeks ago, during an online meeting of all Clergy in the neighboring 4 states, our Bishop wrapped up 2 hours early, asking us all to spend that time doing something that made our hearts sing. The Chat box filled up immediately: "What could that be?" "Haven't thought about that in ages!" and "Do you mean it? THANK YOU!" When life is challenging, sometimes we power through, accomplishing or surviving whatever we must, but not truly enjoying life anymore. This Sunday, I want us to DELIGHT in the Lord, in one another, in our quirky, imperfect selves and our awkward ways of gathering to worship... in-person or online... all as a means of finding common ground when our nation or world seems divisive.  We'll worship at 10:30AM, with Adult Bible Study (new link) at 9AM on Zoom and Virtual Fellowship Time at 11:30AM on Zoom. Worship, practice Delight Sunday 11/15/2020 10:30AM from Isaiah 58:8-9, Ephesians 4:29-32 Donate Now From last week's sermon Check out this heartfelt articlewritten by Dr. Belinda Forbes, which Pastor Emily shared in her sermon last Sunday.
