“Encounter” - Wednesday morning worship

by Art McClanahan May 2, 2012

Wednesday morning worship began with the question, in music, “Shall we gather? At the shoreline? Can you hear the voice of God?

The scripture lesson: Mark 14:26-28; 16:1-7

The sung response affirmed: “Without seeing you, we love you; without touching you, we embrace; without knowing you, we follow; without seeing you, we believe.”

The Upper Room meditation was written by Bishop Jane Allen Middleton.

The symbol for the morning: candle
