WEEKLY REFLECTION
This week I will dedicate my prayer life to connecting to the gifts the Holy
Spirit has nurtured within me. I will seek direction to share my gifts through the
church.
Announcements:
The Women’s Fellowship will hold a joint meeting at the home of
Virginia Barker at 6 pm on Tuesday, June 11. Everyone should bring
their favorite dish. Your husband or a guest is also invited. This will
be our last meeting until we resume our regular meetings in the fall.
Children’s Craft: We are collecting empty toilet paper rolls to use for a
children’s craft later this summer. Please see Joan Hedrick if you would like to
donate some. There will be a collection bag in the Choir Room.

Peggy Welker, who recently passed away.

"Indescribable"
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
