Gardens Dedication Sunday
Sermon: "Global Anziety and Religious Resources"
Preaching: Rev. Barbara Merritt
Liturgist: Rev. Thomas Schade
The rumors are flying: impending world economic collapse, global warming, water shortages, energy crisis, political upheavals, terrorism, and/or escalating food prices. In a climate of fear and uncertainty, how can we find what holds at the center? How do we keep our balance in a world of constant change? This Sunday is the last Sunday our wonderful choir will be singing until the fall. And this is the Sunday when we dedicate the beautiful gardens, created and sustained by our Garden Committee. We hope you can worship with us!
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower-but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
-Alfred Tennyson

We bid you welcome
who come with weary spirits seeking rest,
Who come with troubles that are too much with you.
Who come hurt and afraid.
We bid you welcome,
who come with hope in your heart,
Who come with anticipation in your step,
Who come proud and joyous.
We bid you welcome,
who are seekers of a new faith,
Who come to probe and explore,
who come to learn.
We bid you welcome,
who enter this hall as a homecoming,
Who have found here room for your spirit,
who find in this people a family.
Whoever you are,
whatever you are,
wherever you are on your journey,
We bid you welcome.
