“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road ,though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always…I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Thomas Merton
If things go as planned, we will be returning to worshipping in person on July 11. Here are some guidelines, but please note all is subject to change.
- We will be meeting outside. We won’t be singing, but Rusty and Richard will alternate playing music for us.
- There will be no gathering in Room 1. There will no sharing of food, but all are welcome to bring their own lunch or snacks.
- Physical distancing will be maintained. If you have not been vaccinated, we would appreciate your wearing a mask. We are, for the most part, an older congregation, and there are some health concerns. May we all do what we can to make certain everyone can stay healthy.
Rich is exploring what is possible with making our in-person service available on Zoom. I do think Zoom, while it has its frustrations, has worked well for us. I have so appreciated our conversations over the past year and a half. However, God is always doing a new thing, so let us be willing to be led into this new time. For now, plan on coming together on Zoom this Sunday and the following Sunday, July 4. Thank you, Rich, and everyone, for all you do to serve the community.
Blessings,
