Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord,
Selah
O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens; listen, God sends out the voice,
God’s mighty voice. Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel and whose
power is in the skies. Awesome is God from your sanctuary, the God of Israel; who
gives power and strength to the people. Blessed be God!

John 10:1-10; Acts 2:42-47; Psalm 23 (The Message)

We follow the way of Jesus. Who opens our hearts to know that our true selves are
one with God, who is Love. Jesus saves us from fear, from selfishness, from
meaninglessness. He leads us to serve with compassion and act for justice. He
moves us to curiosity and creativity. He brings us together in the community of the
church, Where we grow in Divine Love, build with others a more heavenly world,
and worship God with humble joy. We listen for Holy Spirit whispers: we wait for her to
stir our souls In silent contemplation. We treasure the living, progressing Christian
tradition. We creatively employ the sacred myths of the bible to express our spiritual
experience beyond the bounds of creeds or beliefs. We interpret anew our ancient
practices of prayer and worship. We embrace what is good in our religion, and in
others, and release what stands in the way of the law of Love. We follow the way of
Jesus, and we invite you to walk with us, just as you are.

Luke 24:13-35; Acts 2:14a, 36-41; Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19

Golden breaks the dawn, comes the eastern sun over lake and lawn, new day
has begun. Birds above me fly, flowers bloom below; through the earth and sky
God’s great mercies flow.
Give me daily bread, while I do my part; bright skies overhead, gladness in my
heart. Simple wants provide, evil let me shun; Jesus at my side, till the day is done.

John 20:19-31; Acts 4:32-35; Psalm 133: The Blessedness of Unity: A Song of Ascents.

“When Great Trees Fall”
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

-Maya Angelou
