We are gathered back in for singing and praying, formation and feasting. We kick off our artful fall worship with a Psalm; a very good place to start. And we receive from Psalmist, artist, poet, and preacher a blessing for the place of our gathering which is also the place of God’s dreaming.
Sermon starts at minute marker 2:24
Scripture: Psalm 1:1-3
