Blessed Saturday Evening, Pray-ers!

Pastor Christine rode 60+ miles on her bike today for the Bridges ride, from Cedar Falls, past La Porte City, and to the Spring Creek Bridge (a little too far...oops!).

She had a wonderful time, but she is still recovering, so she will not be leading prayers tonight. Instead, enjoy her picture of cows.

Lord of all the Earth, of sunshine and trees and spandex shorts and laughter,

We thank you for all that is lovely.
We thank you for all that is difficult.
We pray for our ability to weather all the twists and turns and blind curves on this journey called life.
Deliver us from flat tires and grumpy bicyclists, who probably just need a little shade and a protein bar.

We drink from your waters of life, bubbling up from the fountain of providence on a hot day.
We eat from the abundance of delicious buttery, salty popcorn at the Gilbertville Depot.

We practice mindfulness in the quiet places, and blessed communion in the high traffic places. Be ever present with us in both.

Bless every friendly face, every child with a cool helmet, every parent towing a trailer, and every couple on tandem bikes. Bless us and lead us in paths of righteousness, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

These onions need to be eaten! Please visit our parking lot on the Mitchell Avenue side and take some onions (and some radishes in the other containers…and herbs…).

All the veggies are there for the community. Please help yourselves!
