Meant to share this earlier this week. I love Alabama Shakes, and am referencing this simple, prayer of a song in the sermon this morning, from Matthew 14:22-33 - Peter getting out of the boat (oops!).
Enjoy the song! Check out the worship service if you like. It will be live streamed, and available afterwards.
Peace,
Pastor Alan

John 10:1-10
“Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

Bill and Aiden are playing this as special music for us in worship tomorrow. Bill said it won't sound the same, but I know it will be wonderful. (Gild the Lily - Billy Strings)
Come and join us, and find God's presence in this beautiful music and lyrics as we chase butterflies, and Jesus, with the disciples tomorrow morning.
Peace be with you,
Pastor Alan

Dear Friends,
The ground is very wet, and rain threatens to return at any moment. We will hold our sunrise service in the sanctuary this morning.
