From the Pastor's Pen

Dear friends,

I am rejoicing today.  The CDC has just issued new guidance for vaccinated people – no need for masks or social distancing outside or inside.  Wow!  Happy Dance around my study!  I have already sent a request for a meeting of the reopening team for our church.  We had already met this week and were planning to make new recommendations to the session.  We may be able to do more than we had planned.  We will still need to consider safety for our children, youth and others who are not yet vaccinated, but I believe the new guidance can be received with great rejoicing.  Vaccinations are working and making our communities safer!

So here is a psalm for today:

Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
    praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with timbrel and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and pipe,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.  (Psalm 150)

Peace,

Pr. Sally
