Click HERE to see the latest Adventures with Lily Grace, which included things like making Hobo Stew and cornbread, watching the "Little Duck" on Still Waters Pond, A Sunday afternoon Tea Party, and dodging the bees on the wild plum blossoms. There is even a celebration at the end when our team won the Super Bowl! It was a long and fun day for us all.
These are just a few of the pictures you will find over on The Adventures of Lily Grace today, so I hope you will come and join in the fun.
Also, as yesterday was Sunday, I didn't get to post our usual church service until very late due to some technical difficulties. So here is the link to the online message and song by the choir:
I think you will appreciate the message from James 2:1-13, and also the choir's anthem at the very beginning:
"Communion Calypso"
Let us talents and tongues employ, reaching out with a shout of joy.
Bread is broken, the wine is poured, Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Christ is able to make us one, at His table He sets the tone.
Teaching people to live to bless, love in word and in deed express.
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus calls us in, sends us out bearing fruit in a world of doubt.
Gives us love to tell, bread to share; God Immanuel everywhere!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the Word around: loaves abound!
This is a different kind of Communion song with a Jamaican melody. It was written by Fred Kaan, His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens. Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregation.
I hope you enjoyed the song as much as we enjoyed singing it!
Have a blessed day!
