Dear Grace Community,
In the beginning…In September we began reading through the Bible together with the story of creation. Each week this year we journeyed deeper into our holy book. We didn’t read it all, but we read a lot, and for the first time since I’ve been here, we focused on the big story of scripture. Many in the congregation read during the week and kept up with the stories we missed on Sundays.
We are almost to the end of our nine months. We finish on May 31 with the Pentecost story. I’d love to hear from you about your experience in worship and with home reading. Did you keep up with the weekly readings? If so, what was that like for you? Was the worship experience any different for you this year as followed the arc of scripture?
We gather again for online worship this Sunday. We’re excited to have Amy Baumgartner preach. The church office is closed on Monday for Memorial Day, but we are available in an emergency.
Let us know how you are. Email the church staff or call us to check in and share. We miss you and pray for you.
In Christ,
Catherine
