WHEELER PARK

weekend message:

Is it dark in here? As I approach my 50th birthday, I’m noticing lighting more often. Things that I can read easily in day-

light, become a blur of black dots in dim lights. It’s a matter of perspective for me and I think for the folks in Ephesus

too. Is it darker now in the world—or do we just need to find the brighter places to see clearly? God, in so many ways

you call us into the light, guiding us to see how we can join your work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

weekend music:

“Lead On, O King Eternal” was written by Ernest W. Shurtleff as a poem for his class as they were graduating from

Andover Seminary in 1887. Though using words like ‘conquest’ and ‘battle’, it truly is a prayer calling us to acts of love

and mercy, which is, perhaps, the most powerful tool we have.
