| Picture from a previous Judd's Peak Stone Soup |
We'll meet at Judd's Peak at 6 p.m. Bring picnic or snack things to share, bag chairs and blankets to sit on or cover up with (it's supposed to be chilly). Call Rob (828-606-3452) if you need directions or want to carpool up to the hill.
After a summer Stone Soup, a young person came to me and said something to the effect of, "Thanks, I don't get a chance very often to talk about these kind of deep things..." Well, Sunday evening, we'll get a chance to talk about what is important to us and the things that our hearts truly long for. We'll also get a chance to just stand and be present as the sky changes and night falls. This is meant to be an occasion for our kids to ask any questions that are on their hearts and feel their community be present to them and to God.
Psalm 42
Longing for God and His Help in Distress
As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me continually,
‘Where is your God?’
These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng,
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
