Psalm 1

The Two Ways


Happy are those

    who do not follow the advice of the wicked

or take the path that sinners tread

    or sit in the seat of scoffers,


but their delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and on his law they meditate day and night.


They are like trees

    planted by streams of water,

which yield their fruit in its season,

    and their leaves do not wither.

In all that they do, they prosper.


The wicked are not so

    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.


Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment

    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,


for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,

    but the way of the wicked will perish.

Sunday, February 16


This Sunday, we will worship as one in Hickory at 10am in the sanctuary. The Rev. Dr. David Roquemore will be our guest preacher. Over 150 members of our congregation will worship in Montreat as we close our congregational retreat.
