Pastor’s Corner – May 11, 2023
Dear Beloved,
Worshipping God with you together in the same physical or virtual space on Sunday mornings is something that I greatly look forward to each Sunday. Pastor Marc’s messages always challenge and inspire me. Hearing the lay reader share the scripture passage brings it to life differently than when I read it by myself. The shared responsive reading bring me hope.
As someone with no musical talents, I’m very grateful to have a weekly opportunity to join my voice in songs of praise and adoration to God with each of you. Dwight, Kristin, the chancel choir, the cantors, and the AV ministry leaders use their gifts so beautifully to glorify and honor God. I appreciate all their time, energy, and dedication.
I appreciate and give thanks for each of you who take time to join us for worship experiences virtually or in person. Thank you! This week I’ve been wondering what your favorite hymns are. I really enjoyed hearing your favorite Bible stories. If you’d email me your favorite hymns and/or Bible stories, I would be very grateful. Pastorsarah.friedensucc@outlook.com I appreciate getting to know each of you better. I thank God for you and the ways God brings us together with different perspectives, talents, personalities, and experiences. Thank you for being the unique you whom God made.
With gratitude for you and hope and trust in our Good Shepherd who leads us and carries us~

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord and pray to the Lord,” they sang.
“Tell the peoples of the world About God’s mighty doings.
Sing to God; yes, sing the Lord’s praises
And tell of God’s marvelous works.
Glory in God’s holy name; Let all rejoice who seek the Lord.
1Chronicles 16:8-10
