Church on the River...

So as I look out my front window, I see the tall white spire of  Salem United Church (one of the points in my two-point charge), reaching toward the clouds, just across the river.  Since today is Sunday, I got to do one of my most favorite things...leading worship with my fantastic people.  I started something that I have only done once before; a sermon series...this time, focusing on the Lord's Prayer.  Sometimes I think we take this prayer for granted, not giving it the thought or reflection that it deserves.  And so we started reflecting on it, line for line and we'll do so for the next six weeks.  Because of the beauty of this place, it is hard not to reflect on the beauty of those words and be brought into a place of Holy Mystery and Wonder.  So, over the next six weeks, this will be the picture of worship across the river.  Who knows where it will take us, or what the picture will look like! Let the journey begin!
