When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
   we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
   and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
   'The Lord has done great things for them.'
Psalm 126

This Sunday after worship I will be leaving for another stay at the "Desert House of Prayer" in Arizona. I was there for six days last fall and benefited so much from having a time and space for silence that I have been longing to return there ever since. In my absence Pastor LaVinnia Pierson will lead services, and I hope that throughout that time the worship attendance will stay as strong and vibrant as it has been in January. While I am gone I will not be able to send out any reminders or updates.  You will be in my prayers while I am on retreat in Arizona.
