The Gospel message this Sunday is very simple, love God and love our neighbor. Why do we make loving so difficult? It requires some soul searching. From the hymn list above, “Ubi Caritas” by Bob Hurd is great to ponder.
John Fritz, clarintist and Gretchen Young, organist at First United Methodist Church, grace us this week with this hymn featuring the clarinet. Here is the hymn entitled, “Standing on the Promises” and the lyrics in the link below it. This hymn is filled with hope as we put our trust in Christ and bank on the gifts the Holy Spirit provides.
