As you contemplate the hangings in the chancel,
consider God's words to Abram:
He brought him outside and said, "Look toward
heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then He
said to him, "So shall your descendants be." And he believed the
Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Genesis
15:5-6 NRSV

we've just seen.

and join us on Sunday mornings anyway.
This week's film: BREACH. Inspired by true events,
"'Breach' is a dramatic thriller set inside the halls of the FBI --
the gatekeeper of the nation's most sensitive and potentially
volatile secrets." To learn more about the movie, go here:

It has received excellent ratings!
IF YOU REPLY TO ME BY E-MAIL, each Wednesday of the
