Choosing to be Present

From the Zoom chat during Sunday’s worship service:

Share a story from this week when you Chose to be Present:

  • Amy F. – 2 friends had fires this week, one had a dryer fire in their home. She was able to provide food & clothes for these families.

  • Pastor Brian – Yesterday we were able to be present to each other in real time, bodies in the same space. It was just beautiful. A few times when no one was talking to me, I was able to witness it. You were all talking in little groups which was beautiful and hilarious and lovely. It is such a testimony of how you desire to be together and the connection you have with each other has not been severed.

  • Kari – We were able to join on Zoom with Joe’s cousin in hospital from horseback riding accident. She was able to take mini iPad over to Roberta’s and Joe joined in with his phone. It was really great to all be together with the family. Presence. Roberta was really happy to be able to see and talk to her sister and her nieces. Maureen is in good spirits but has a serious neck injury and will have surgery on Monday, 6/22.

  • Ivan – It was a blessing to see the joy and excitement in Finn as he was with me on the road this week.

  • Dianne – Everyone say Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to Debbie & Chris Gable. It’s really nice to see all you guys here from the Lighthouse; I wish we could all be together in the same place.

  • Dave – Thanks to all who came by to celebrate my birthday. I still can’t wipe the smile off my face from the joy in hearing the band in the garage, singing and followed by the barbershop quartet. Love you all.  Giving thanks to my dad (rest his beautiful soul) for demonstrating what it is to be a father
