Scripture: Psalm 105:1-3

Our Psalmist from today encourages us to give thanks to God. Specifically, Psalm 105 is a reminder to the people of Israel, after being slaves in Egypt and lost in the wilderness, that they should be thankful to God for all things including their history from the calling of Abraham to their settlement in Canaan. This Psalm is also a reminder to them of their obedience and covenant with God. Following in the path of the Israelites, what can you be thankful for today?

Holy Eucharist

Worship in the Episcopal Church rests on scripture and the traditions of the elegant language of the Book of Common Prayer. While the worship might seem more formal than spontaneous, we reliably read scripture every time we worship together, and we follow the liturgy that has stood the test of time. Our worship is in letting the liturgy carry us along into a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with God.
