Alternative title: “I Don’t Want To Be Here” courtesy of Raymond Funk. Today, Jess Williams continued our theme “Being Human Together” with a talk of many titles, and two of them made it to the final cut!
After a beautiful worship service led by Raymond Funk, communion was offered to all. Alex Henderson shared his experience on the Imagination Team and his thoughts on the the upcoming transitions. The service concluded with a talk by Jessica Williams, who invited us to behold who we are in a loving way. Courageously, she demonstrated what this looks like for her.
Raymond Funk and Hayden Wiebe led the music this morning, and our hearts were heavy because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Peter Fitch was feeling the same things, so he didn’t bring a prepared talk. Instead, he read Psalm 31 and asked people to share their thoughts and their prayers together. We wove silent prayer together with singing and the prayers and comments that people brought forward. Together, we sensed the need for a global heart of love to encompass the militarization and pain in the heart of the aggressors in this war, and we prayed for God’s deliverance and strength.
