Maria Comments/Reflections on our October 2, 2016 Celebration
Oct. 2 was the second time that we have taken time out from the regular liturgical year to celebrate “A Children’s Sabbath,” honoring children as sacred gifts. The Children’s Defense Fund founded Children’s Sabbaths in 1992 to encourage congregations to honor, protect, and advocate on behalf of children. As founder Miriam Wright Edelman stated at the time: “Children come into the world with God’s commission to live and learn and sing and dance and grow; then, too, many are decommissioned by adults who prey on them.” We pray today that all children will soon be able to develop into strong, healthy, and loving adults. It has been a joyful time to be childlike in our worship of God. On Sunday we had a sweet little girl with us who made us smile and laugh. We also sang children’s songs like ‘He/She’s Got the Whole World in His/Her Hands” and “This Little Light of Mine.” Oh, and we finished with a reception with different flavored Oreo cookies and sang “Happy Birthday” to our pastor, Maria, Goodies included a 3-cupcake birthday cake with candles which she blew out. On the whole it was a special community celebration! We congratulate Maria and are grateful for her many, many years of dedicated and inspired service to God's people. Thank you, Maria. |
