NORTHMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEWSLETTER Thursday, June 24, 2021

It's good to be back! LIVE STREAMING OF THE SERVICE HAS ENDED. Come back to church. We've missed you!

An audio recording of the sermon only will be posted on the church website.

Welcome back to church!

From Pastor Jim... Summer 2021 is different from just about any other summer we have ever experienced. It may seem like "back to normal," but it really isn't.

That doesn't mean we don't try to move forward and do some of the things that we have always done in the summer, but we have experienced a great loss as a country and a society. At the very least we need to allow ourselves to mourn. I'm at a loss to understand what I did in 2020. Where did the year go? Is this really summer, 2021, when I can't even remember summer 2020? As we move forward we would do well to never forget declaration made in one of my favorite hymns: "Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon, and stars in their courses above join with all nature in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love." The Lord never left us and never leaves us. Even as we move through 2021 our obligation remains that we give witness to God's great faithfulness, mercy and love. God and our response to God's glory remains the constant in our lives even when we have "lost" a year. Go forward in 2021 ever praising the Lord and know that the Lord walks with us. Blessings, Pastor Jim
