Earth Day 2015

Earth Day

Good Morning Park Avenue Congregational Church!  This Sunday we will consider how we are stewards of God’s earth.  The sermon:  “Pangea is the Lord’s.”  Earth Day comes this week.  Following worship, I invite you to meet with Tim Durning, Kathy Fink and me to converse about the possibility of forming a “Green Team.”  If you have any interest in the environment, climate change, reducing our carbon footprint, or practical concerns like helping the church to be more “green,” please join us.  As we think about the care of God’s earth, consider:  The most important apostrophe-S (‘s) in the bible, the possessive case, is in Psalm 24:1.  I encourage you to read Psalm 24 in preparation for your worship of God on Sunday.  See you then,

Rev. John

 

Psalm 24

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
2 for he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
who do not lift up their souls to what is false,
and do not swear deceitfully.
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord,
and vindication from the God of their salvation.
6 Such is the company of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory.
