The Psalms
From Psalm 149's joyful exclamation -- "Alleluia! Sing to the Lord a new song" -- to the desolation in Psalm 22's -- "My God, My God why have you forsaken me;" from the awe expressed in Psalm 19's -- "The heavens declare the glory of God, the stars proclaim God's handiwork" -- to the violence and vengeance of Psalm 140's "may red-hot embers rain down on them, may they be flung into the abyss for good," the Psalms express a full gamut of human emotions. What are we to make of them? Can we really pray the Psalms that express anger and violence or should we ignore them? Come hear Sister Michael Julian and Father Rick discuss the Psalms. We will talk about their history, their use in prayer and especially how even the so-called "negative" emotions of the Psalms may teach us to listen more deeply as God's speaks through them to our own hearts.
We invite all to the 11:00 am in-person Eucharist with music & choir.
Please join us from 2 pm to 4 pm to help clean up Good Shepherd's adopted section of First Creek as we strive to take another small step in Caring for Creation.

We also warmly welcome folks to just come hang out under our home base tent, enjoy the camaraderie, and cheer on those piling up the many unique items found along our creeks!
