Complete Service - June: Standing on Holy Ground

This worship gathering invites us into the story of Moses and the burning bush, a story in which Moses encounters God in an unexpected way. He is invited to take off his sandals, acknowledging that he is standing on holy ground. Wendell Berry Farmer, poet, and theologian, has a line in a poem that states: “There are no sacred and unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places.” Let this service remind you that you are standing on sacred/holy ground. Or, perhaps, if you are meeting in a highly developed place (i.e., on pavement or concrete) you might want to reflect on the difference between sacred and desecrated places.
