Knowing and Known

 

The Courtyard Scene by Ann Weems

Over and over again we sit in our courtyards, our mouths speak what our hearts are full of...

we do not know him (we whisper)

We do not know him (we say as we read the news)

We DO NOT know him (in the face of Christians who hate and harm)

WE DO NOT KNOW HIM (we say in fear of the uncontrollability of this week)

 

KNOW HIM
Know Him

know him

 

These words are not just then and there, but still echo emphatically, filling time and space, heaven and earth; and yet the saddest part is when the cock crows in our world today, with headlines that break our heartlines, we don't have the ears to hear At least Peter had the ears to hear and the heart to weep.

 

I hope to see you tonight as we share the sacred story, feast at Christ’s table, and participate in the shadows, letting our shy souls loose in the uncontrollability of this week.  Service is at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary and online.
