Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Look and See
Sometimes things happen in our lives that cause us to look at things and see them differently. It happened to Saul and this week it has happened to all of us. We will find our faith in that experience.
In light of this week's events, we need to gather and praise God together. We will stay with our plans to have one combined service at 11 am in the Sanctuary. DO NOT WORRY about how you look, you may not have clean clothes or electricity to dry your hair, or your face may be swollen from crying. You are loved and you are safe and we want to see you.
We will still follow worship with a Potluck after service but so many of you have lost food and have not had a hot meal in days. So the church has bought lasagnas, chicken nuggets, salad, and green beans for everyone. Just show up and eat. However, if you want to bring a side or dessert feel free, no sign-ups are needed. If you know someone who could use some love and a hot meal, bring them to church, they will get both this Sunday.
