“Practicing Resurrection”“Practicing the resurrection

means ... putting God BACK at the centre of our lives. Just as

the disciples retreat to their familiar trade, as you and I might retreat to the office or the mall or to the garden, what we come to realize is that Jesus is already there in those places. Jesus is there and waiting to serve and

nourish us.”From today’s sermon, “Practicing Resurrection”

Today’s PsalmOur Psalm for today is Ps. 30 found on page 338

and following in your hymnbook, or on the screen. We will be singing our psalm today responsively by whole verse.
