Assembly

Posted : Feb-21-2021

Every imaginable type of "gather the people" changed drastically over the past year, yet we managed somehow. We humans have a knack for adjusting to life's curveballs, but it can come with a price, difficult choices, sacrifices, and loss. now as we begin Lent in 2021, we continue to gather with our children, our parents, our friends, and our congregation in new and different ways. Perhaps, in our new gatherings we will hear fresh, new voices we hadn't heard before. Perhaps these new gatherings will help a loved one tune in to the voice we've been praying they'll hear; the loving voice of God. What a reason for hope! Let us pray:

 

Lord, gather us together these 40 days of Lent.

Gather us, in peace like a river, and in sorrows deep as the sea.

Gather us, Lord, all of our days.

With you, Lord, all will be well.
