There is a song that is very fitting for what we experienced last weekend celebrating with Robbie on the occasion of her installation as our Verger. The song is Sweet, Sweet Spirit. The lyrics are the message for this week's newsletter. You can find it online if you want to hear the melody. It would be great for us to learn this song. We have such a Sweet, Sweet Spirit among us.
Sweet, Sweet Spirit
There's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,
And I know that it's the Spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face,
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
Refrain:
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love.
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise;
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived,
When we shall leave this place.

Father of all wisdom and love,
In whose wisdom we trust and in whose love we dwell.
We come asking you to guide us as we search for a new shepherd for this flock, a new teacher for those who seek, and for a steadfast companion who will walk with us along the way.
All this we ask in the name of our creator, redeemer and sustainer, one God, whose mercy endures forever. Amen
