Seems strange to “gather for battle” on the first day we’ve gathered for worship in person in 14 months! Yet it feels a bit like we’ve been through a battle and there is still conflict. In this morning’s story, the forces of opposition are gathered for battle. Against them comes the young shepherd David, trusting in the Shepherd God. In these days of both difficulty and hope we yearn for a way forward. Sometimes it means removing our accumulated armor becoming vulnerable to each other and Jesus’ calming presence with us.
Gathered for Battle at the Reedville Church this Sunday, June 20, 9:30 am, IN PERSON. Reservations are required by contacting the church office, or 503-649-1282. Masks are not necessary if proof of vaccination is presented as Washington County requires for this kind of gathering. Unvaccinated participants are welcome with masks.
