God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
There is a river whose streams make
glad the city of
God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning

channel, known to us as the Bosphorus, opened and the Mediterranean Sea rushed
in to fill the basin we now know as the
Obviously
theologians, back then, read this as God’s judgment poured out on the wicked
people of that land.
Such
judgments are still made today and not always by theologians. Actress Sharon Stone recently pronounced the
earthquake in
Is that how our God acts… killing tens of thousands, displacing
hundreds of thousands… all for sin, which was not really their own?
After
the flood Noah proved himself not to be above sin, and neither are we.
God who is acquainted with all our ways, and yet has not acted
to end our walk on this earth, we thank you for your graceful patience. Forgive us for the sin of our hands… and the
sin from which we have benefited, and help us to strive to walk more faithfully
in your way. Amen.

SHARING
THE BREAD (#371)
I come with joy to meet my Lord,
Forgiven, loved, and free,
In awe and wonder to recall
His life laid down for me.
As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
Each proud division ends,
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
SHARING THE CUP (#330)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am
found,
Was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my
heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace
appear
The hour I first believed.
GREET EACH OTHER WITH THE PEACE OF CHRIST
