As we stride ever onward, now into a summer that promises to be one like we have never experienced before, we continue to take a moment each day with music. Throughout these next few months, look for some more offbeat choices, many more of your own community selections and comments, and as ever, a little injection of faith, hope, and love into your day.

Thank you for affording me a couple days of "brain break" this week. With a few extra things on my plate, I took this one off to make a little more room. I appreciate your patience.
Today, a song to accompany us as we think of our dear sister Flo Bliss, who passed away early this morning. We remember her fondly and consider what it means to us here in world when someone we love love leaves it. May this song help us to celebrate life, and may Flo's memory be for blessing.
May you always have a hand to hold
Out there in the darkness
When you're feeling cold
When everything is hurting
And nothing's really working
May you find the courage to still be bold
May the sweetest things be all that you can taste
And when the hardest parts are laying you to waste
When you're sitting with the feeling
That you don't want to be living
May the angels bring their grace
May the angels bring their grace
May you keep the dreams you had when you were young
And when your feet are getting tired
I hope that someone that you love, looks you in the eye
And says, "Darling, you'll be fine
Darling, you're all mine
Darling, I'll be there with you on the other side
Darling, you'll be fine
Darling, you're all mine
Darling, I'll be there with you
I'll be there with you
May the sweetest things be all that you can taste
And when the hardest parts are laying you to waste
When you're sitting with the feeling
That you don't want to be living
May the angels bring their grace
Listen...
Pray...
God of Life and Death, Thank you for sitting with us in sorrow and celebration.
We also lift up the following prayers shared during last Sunday's worship service:
For peace moving Jan's mother into her new home
For all who are being affected by wildfires
For the joyous and safe arrival of Zoe Catherine, newest member of the extended Young clan!
Even in our separation, God, help us to feel the deep delight of your love for all. Amen.
