Sunday Reflection
St. John's Church, Lafayette Square
September 26, 2021

Dear St. John's Community,
 
“Are any among you suffering?  They should pray.  Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.” (James 5:13, NRSV)

It seems the opening verse of our text from The Letter of James for this Sunday covers a wide range of emotions and experience. On any given day, I think we can find ourselves suffering or rejoicing, or at some point in between the two.  We may be grateful for a recent blessing or moment of grace.  We may be worried about something or someone.  We may just be having a good day, or, possibly, a just bad one.  
  
Wherever you find yourself – suffering, cheerful, or in between -- join us for prayer and singing this Sunday. 
 
****************************
 
Today we continue to settle back into our regular rhythm of services at 7:45 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 11:00 a.m.
 
If you can't join us in person, you can watch our 11 a.m. service as it live-streams on our Worship Page or on our Facebook page. It will be posted later in the day to our YouTube Channel.
 
We look forward to seeing you today!
 
Blessings,
 
Doug+
