This Sunday's Service
In the reading from the
Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) this Sunday, Joshua is preparing the Israelite
people for their entry into the promised land after 40 years of wandering in the
wilderness. Joshua tells the people that God is preparing them for a new start
in the land of Canaan. In order to do this, the people must renew their covenant
with God. This puts behind the past of slavery in Egypt and the transgressions
of the wilderness and sets before them the new beginning that God has prepared.
In every generation we are called upon to renew our commitment to seeking God's
presence in our lives and working together to advance the reality of God's love
among people. It's a tall challenge, but when we covenant to work together, the
task can become a work of joy. The sermon title is, "All Alone in the Midst of a
Crowd."
The Meeting House Choir
will sing Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord by Hal H. Hopson, and
My Song is Love Unknown by Edwin T. Childs. Our congregational hymns
will be It Was God Who Ran to Greet Him (WILBUR), Softly and
Tenderly (THOMPSON), and All My Hope on God is Founded
(MEINE HOFFNUNG).
