“Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”. A reflection courtesy of our music director, Rick Roberts.
I believe one of Jo Anne’s favorite hymns is “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”. We sing it often and, I confess, I love the music. It was written by William Williams (1717-1791) who is considered by many to be the father of Welsh hymnody. It is fitting that Williams should be the author of a…

Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again. (Anne Frank). A message from our music director, Rick Roberts.
Good Wednesday morning! Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again. (Anne Frank) I am sometimes overwhelmed with concern about many things these days. Among them – the conflict in Israel, the rising costs (especially for us seniors), injustice, discrimination, violent disagreements, and the decline in church vitality. I continue…

I am praying for peace in Israel and, as I go thru my daily routines, my thoughts and prayers will continue. Please…
With a song in my heart… Meditations by our Music Director Rick Roberts. 10-3-2023 (posting a day later, sorry). “Sweet Hour of Prayer”
Laura’s rendering of “Sweet Hour of Prayer” this past Sunday was inspiring and, to put it simply, was sweet. The hymn was written by William B. Bradbury. William B. Bradbury (1816-1868) was an American composer of Gospel songs and hymns. He wrote the music for such familiar hymns as “He Leadeth Me,” Holy Bible, Book Divine,”…
Wednesday has arrived and it’s time for a quote of the week: “In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.” (Les Brown)
Jo Anne’s current sermon series are based on the Psalms. I’ve been doing my daily reading and have even jumped ahead. Featured on the table in the sanctuary are items dealing with time. Time is important to many of us. I like to have time to finish a project. I enjoy setting some time aside…
A thought for the day courtesy of our music director, Rick Roberts.
Hope your week is going great and blessings abound. Today is the day I share a thought of the day: “Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” (Ella Fitzgerald) I’ve got some projects to do and I…
It is Thursday and Thursday is “Ponder” day. Here is a thought for you to ponder:
“For every moment that you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) I wish I could say that I’ve never been angry, but that would be a big fib. Of course, I have been angry at times. It could have been being told “no” by my parents and holding my breath. A…
