The beauty of worshipping together
by Daily Grace

8.4.2013

Uncategorized

I experience the presence of the Spirit again and again in worship. Sometimes in whispers. Sometimes like a gentle breeze. Sometimes like brisk fresh air. Always to the glory of the fullness of God. By many different paths, witnesses to the Word of God keep bringing us to the center of our faith in Jesus Christ. And when the eucharistic meal is served, waves upon waves of Christian servants move spontaneously with a quiet sway to be nourished and nurtured together.

This message is adapted from “Blow, Spirit, Blow!” written by Kay Soder-Alderfer in the October 1993 issue of Lutheran Woman Today (now Gather) magazine.
