Incarnation
by Sheila Bertrand
Eternal became time - bound
Lying in a trough.
Almighty became human
To show us His great love.
He who formed the Universe,
who stretched out all the skies,
He who sprinkled stars in space
Now, helpless, there He lies.
Once enthroned in the Heavens,
The earth His footstool then,
He cannot take a single step,
Who once walked on the wind.
The everlasting Word of God,
Speechless as a babe;
The God who filled up all of space,
Confined now in a cave.
Who formed the hairs on every head
Suddenly can bleed.
The God by Whom all things were made
Now suffers want and need.
He blew life into everyone;
Now He takes His first breath.
Immortal God, the Timeless One,
Can now feel pain and death.
Oh, how much He loves us!
How much He condescends
To come down from His lofty throne
To be my Savior and my Friend!
Events
A huge thank you to everyone who helped with our most recent Service Sunday! Thanks to you we were able to fill dozens of toiletry bags and tie off a small mountain of quilts for Bags of Love to distribute to local children experiencing crisis.
Recent Mission Trip to Alaska
This summer we sent a team of volunteers to Seward, Alaska to work with a Non-Profit called “North of Hope”. We helped restore a tribal burial ground for children that had fallen into disrepair and had been desecrated by some local people. We also did some much needed repairs on the homes of several tribal elders in the area. We forged some lasting friendships and got to participate in racial reconciliation and healing! We’re gonna do that again!!
