MUSIC NOTE
We thank several musicians today for sharing their beautiful music. Sam Derting is a graduate of the WWU music program and we are thrilled that he along with his wife Jaimie and daughter Imogen again live in the Walla Walla valley. Our guest organist is Richard Scott of the WWU Library, and joining him is his good friend Sarah Thomson, theatre arts teacher at College Place High School and director of children’s ministries at Walla Walla Presbyterian Church. Sarah is a Walla Walla native and graduate of Wa-Hi. She also holds degrees from Whitworth University and Grand Canyon University. Please join me in welcoming and thanking all of these musicians.
As you prepare your heart to worship I invite you to silently meditate on the words of our hymns or the first anthem, “What Songs Were Sung,” part of which are given here.
We cannot tell
We do not know
What songs were sung
So long ago
When Mary birthed her own sweet Son
And peace and love
Became as one
-Kraig Scott
THIS SABBATH
AT THE UNIVERSITY CHURCH
Sabbath's Question:
We are taught to forgive--multiple times even. But are some offenses unforgiveable?
GIVE
The University Church budget funds many important aspects of our local ministry. Although pastors' salaries are funded by donations marked "tithe", the University Church budget is what subsidizes our amazing K-12 school programs at Walla Walla Valley Academy and Rogers Adventist School. It also makes our worship services and broadcast ministry possible. Thank you for your generous and systematic support!
