Pastiche of riches

Yesterday was a day full of worship. The morning service was a grouping of hymns, Bible readings, prayers, a meditation and a video about riches. Tim was out of town.



The video was from Rob Bell--an up and coming young theologian for postmoderns. It was called simply "Riches". I appreciated his comments on our lifestyle as juxtaposed against our voiced commitments. One of the repeated ideas in the video is how much we put our lives into the hands of materialistic public relations hucksters.

During the service, Brandon allowed time for a meditation of our true riches. We were to take cards and list everything we could thank God for. Such a nice use of time in a worship service--quietness and time for thought.



Sunday evening we put ourselves in the capable leadership of Jeff Berry for an evening of wonderful worship.
