Beloved,

Do you believe, like Huey Lewis, in Love? Do you believe in God? Do you believe that God is Love?

Do you believe that music is the food of Love? Do you believe that we know Love by this: that Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay our lives down for one another? Do you believe that faith is Love in action?

If you believe, or want to deepen your believing, you are invited this weekend. You are invited to music, to Love in action, to laying down our lives for one another:

Saturday night: Pete Shungu’s benefit concert on behalf of his father Daniel’s work against riverblindness in subsaharan Africa

Sunday morning: Worship–singing, praying, breaking open the word. Toni Snow is our liturgist (her first time! be loving!) I’ll be preaching from a letter, I John, on loving, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. Communion!

Sunday morning, continued: Dr. Daniel Shungu teaches us about his lifesaving work in Africa

Sunday noonish: Biannual All-Church Work Day! Pizza, ABBA, putting things together, moving things around, getting the sludge out, deep conversations while scrubbing windows

Sunday evening: reward yourself with a long day’s worship and word at the Michael Gulezian concert, 7p in the sanctuary. Drink it in!

blessings this coolly beautiful day~
Molly
