The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims God's handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Psalm 19:1-4
The proclamation of our Creator through nature was beautiful and clear last Sunday morning after the rare October snow. We were inconvenienced by the loss of power for 48 hours, but already I'm smiling at the images of Cliff and I sitting in the dark and listening to the cracking and falling of branches on Saturday night and reaching for the peanut butter jar for yet another meal. What is now at the forefront of my mind is the speech that poured out without a voice on Sunday morning. Yes-- a holy moment and vision of God's glory.
This weekend is missions emphasis weekend at Ridgeview. There is opportunity to serve at Mennonite Central Committee's Material Resource Center in Ephrata on Saturday morning with a meal served Saturday evening with cuisine of Venezuela. If you are interested in joining the workers, contact me, and I'll see what I can do!
Sunday school at 9am will be in the sanctuary with our guest speakers Willis and Brydalene Horst. They will also be sharing during the worship service with a message, "Celebrate God's Faithfulness." For a look at Sunday's bulletin, check out the link below. :)
Craig is back from his work with Mennonite Disaster Service. I'm looking forward to hearing about his experience. Ask him about it when you see him!
Please keep praying for Anthony, Mim and their families as treatments are determined and implemented.
Ridgeview is going to be implementing the Food Pac program to send food home on weekends to school children in need, a service to which we've historically been involved but not given leadership. Talk to Marie K. or Charlotte L. for ways you can help.
My prayer for you today: Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. How precious is your love! Despite the many uncertainties of our lives, God, you are our constant presence. So often we pray, "God, be with us," and you already are here. Let us be still, and aware. Love, joy, peace-- these are your fruit. We ask that your healing will cover Anthony, Mim, their families as well as others who are hurting today. Come Kingdom of God. Be done will of God, on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus Name. AMEN.
Without question or doubt, you are loved by God, and I love you too! Contact me anytime.
Love and Light,
Carol
