Announcements

Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking
“My name is I AM.”

He paused.  I waited
He continued,

“When you live in the past
With its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard.  I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.

“When you live in the future,
With its problems and fears,
It is hard.  I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.

“When you live in this moment,
It is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.”

I Am by Helen Mallicoat

Rosemary’s Blessing

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world & in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
