Robert Stanger was the President of Elmhurst College, the college that I attended and (believe it or not) at the end of September, I will be going back for my 50th reunion. I am not sure of the reference but I remember him referring to Sunday worship as the weekly miracle that touches all of our lives.
For some, summer has allowed for different worship patterns, maybe visiting other churches while on vacation or at your summer camp or retreat, for some it may have been the quiet solitude of nature, for others there was no change, worship was at PGUCC. Our time of worship is something I take very seriously, so I found the following article I read not long ago very interesting.
The article started off with the question: "What is worship?". To which the author gave the following responses:
Worship is praise and thanksgiving; worship is confession; worship is seeking; worship is rededication. So, what is worship to each of you? Whatever it is I hope you find some of what you you seek as you worship with your family and friends at PGUCC.
See you in worship.
Blessings,

The article started off with the question: "What is worship?". To which the author gave the following responses:
- It is praising God; it is recognizing God's presence in everything about us; it is giving thanks for all God is and does.
- It is admitting that we have not always done our best, that we have been too easily satisfied; it is asking God's forgiveness.
- It is trying to discover what is God's will for us, what God wants to do now; it is seeking to know how we fit into God's plans.
- It is a new starting point; it is a new agreement with God and with ourselves that we are going to try even harder to live up to the best that we know.
Worship is praise and thanksgiving; worship is confession; worship is seeking; worship is rededication. So, what is worship to each of you? Whatever it is I hope you find some of what you you seek as you worship with your family and friends at PGUCC.
See you in worship.
