Word About Life~ Isaiah 56:1-6
Shared by Pastor Ken
Thus says the Lord:
Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my deliverance be revealed.
Happy is the mortal who does this,
the one who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and refrains from doing any evil.
Do not let the foreigner joined to the Lord say,
‘The Lord will surely separate me from
his people’; and do not let the eunuch say,
‘I am just a dry tree.’
Singing Our Faith ~ The Ceaseless Flow of Time
(Tune: In Christ There is No East or West)
The ceaseless flow of endless time
No one can check or stay;
We'll view the past with no regret,
Nor future with dismay.

Word About Life Isaiah 56:1-6
Thus says the Lord:
Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my deliverance be revealed.
Happy is the mortal who does this,
the one who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and refrains from doing any evil.
Do not let the foreigner joined to the Lord say,
‘The Lord will surely separate me from
his people’; and do not let the eunuch say,
‘I am just a dry tree.’
The present slips into the past,
And dream-like melts away;
The breaking of tomorrow's dawn
Begins a new today.
The past and future ever meet
In the eternal now:
To make each day a thing complete
Shall be our Sabbath vow (JStorey).
Words for Mission
Led by Linda Pape
One: Where all life on earth is cherished, there opens for us another way to live.
All: Where a child may grow in safety,
where there's peace and shelter,
One: when we hold the fragile planet in our conscious care, when we see again as sacred all we are and share, we find rest.
All: May God’s breath stream within us.
One: These are the times!
All: We are the people!
One: All of Creation is blessed!
All: May we love all and serve all!
One: God be with you
All: And also with you.
One: Amen.
All: Amen!
