This Sunday's Service

What does Mary anointing Jesus with oil have to do with Paul's proclamation that "I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ?" We usually remember Mary's act of devotion, but try to forget some of the misunderstood statements of Paul. However, the words of Paul can sometimes lend a much deeper understanding of life and how we are called to live in it, if we allow our understanding and imagine to be stretched beyond our comfortable levels. The sermon title for this Sunday is "Anointed for Living."
The Meeting House Choir will sing A Gaelic Blessing by John Rutter, When the Lord Restored Zion by Dave & Jean Perry, and Kyrie by Sonja Poorman. Organist Gavin D. Craig will play Arioso on "Breastplate of St. Patrick" by Richard Proulx and Kyrie, Gott heiliger Geist, BWV 671 by Johann Sebastian Bach. Our congregational hymns will be Said Judas to Mary (JUDAS AND MARY),We Yearn, O Christ, for Wholeness (PASSION CHORALE), and Give Up Your Anxious Pains (ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL).
