May 14 – Take the Next Step

About to walk on water

“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.” 
― Patrick Overton, The leaning tree

“At the very edge of all you’ve known — comes the Grace of God.”  ~ Jane Kim Yu

“Choose this day whom you will serve…”  Joshua 24:15

April 9 – “One Today”

Sunrise!

ONE TODAY

Today is another day… Your today. My today. We each have an opportunity to make the best of it.

Somehow.

March 12 -“Joy Comes in the Morning/Mourning

Our 31st season was interrupted after the February 2020 Service. Now, back from a long covid “vacation” Jazz @ Emmanuel returns to continue that season this spring, with the timely theme “Joy in the Morning/Mourning” with the Tom Wendt Quartet for March 12, 2023
