Hello Glenbrook!
Good morning! Happy Friday! This is a quick reminder that the EMCC picnic is happening THIS Sunday. If you didn't sign up but would like to come, you are more than welcome to join us right after the Sunday service. Food and drinks are provided, so you don't need to bring a thing—just yourselves! It's a great chance to mingle, share a meal, and enjoy some games together. Rain or shine, we're gathering!
Have a wonderful weekend, and we will see you there.

Really Living On Purpose
The heart of most spiritual practice is simply this: Remember. Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember how you wish to live.
It appears that possibly we put our beliefs and practice into everyday living, by just being. That being so, it is probably a good thing to take time now and then to think about it. And do some living on purpose.
Prayer: Great and good God, thank you for always being with us. Help us to remember that it is you that gives us life. Help us to live in ways that are pleasing to you, on purpose. Amen.
