When Joy Doesn’t Come in the Morning

February 15, 2009 Peg Weissbrod

Once in a while, we try to share more than just the sermon with our online visitors. On February 15th, with both our pastors out of the country, we celebrated worship with lay leader Todd Webster at the helm and guest preacher Rev. Amy Greene in the pulpit. The service began as nothing out of the ordinary, but listen all the way to the end–and hear the magical presence of the living Spirit in our sanctuary.
