Blessed is the path on which you travel
Blessed is the body that carries you upon it
Blessed is your heart that has heard the call
Blessed is your mind that discerns the way
Blessed is the gift you will receive by going
Truly blessed is the gift you will become on the journey

Afterward

If you’re with us on Zoom today, please stay after the service for our online coffee hour. If you’re here in person, please join us downstairs for coffee and conversation. Visitors: you may wish to use a red cup — then we’ll know you’re open to a bit of orientation.

If you’re new, we’d be grateful to have you provide us with contact information so we can let you know what’s happening here. There are buff-colored visitor contact cards in the pew racks, and in the entryway, that you can drop in the collection basket. Or provide your contact information HERE.
