Daily Message and Prayer from Rev. Mary White
Good Afternoon and Blessings
After careful research, consideration and discussion, the Navigation Team has made a decision not to move forward with an outdoor service this year. Setting aside all the responsibilities of creating a safe environment to have an open-air service, we determined that there remains too great a health risk at this time. Given the recent increase in COVID-19 cases, it may take us longer to get back into providing services in the church building. We will continue to monitor the situation and make a decision on a monthly basis. In the meantime, we need to plan for the future and determine what the new church life will be like. We will require a resurrection that safely embraces our congregations.
Keep safe, Keep connected.
Blessings and the strength of Love be with you.

Psalm 51:7-15 (MSG)
Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.
Prayer Of The Day
Breath of Life
Although our lives are heavy with chaos, through your guidance and Love, we remain a strong and hopeful people. Guide us to the understanding that we will survive these life challenges whose end seems unreachable. Breathe life into our grief-stricken bodies and put a fresh wind in our sails. Bless us with a vision that helps us to see beyond now to a place of communion. Serving with Love and within your will, we continue to ask for answers to our prayers.
Amen.
