snow again


woke up sabbath morning to a complete opposite of last week's sabbath. snow! again!

last week i experienced three different kinds of meetings. friday night i went to the college vespers which was very spirited. there was a small choir of kids, a pianist, four song leaders, one guitar, one bass, two trumpets, three violins, and one sax. they sang for quite a while. then the youth pastor gave a short homily that involved a wii demonstration regarding what was real and what wasn't very good.

sabbath morning we went to a liturgical service that the church has been doing for at least 15 years. it was quiet and meditative. loved the pipe organ. the worshipers were able to participate through group reading and hymns.

then the sabbath school was taught by an elderly man who was really good. the class was mostly older people except for my daughter and son-in-law. it was very thoughtful and open. it was a wonderful worship weekend for me since i belong to a very tiny church.
