24 Oct Stuck Tune Syndrome
Is it just me…or did you too find yourself singing Supertramp following morning worship and into the afternoon last Sunday?
“Give a little bit…
There’s so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care”
Scientists refer to that phenomenon as “stuck tune syndrome”. Apparently, there is no known remedy. I’m sorry. But also, I’m not sorry since stewardship season should spark the imagination and, indeed, stick in the brain. The 2023 campaign letter and= pledge materials should arrive in your mailboxes shortly! This coming Sunday, the featured text is taken from Exodus, Chapter 33. Moses wants to know – he wants to feel completely confident – about the future and the form of God’s presence.
Moses says to God: “See, you have said to me, ‘Bring up this people’; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me.” Moses is good like that! I admire his intense insistence, especially because it evokes an assurance from God. God responds: “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” God is good like that! The story (and the sermon) is an invitation to consider the idea that certainty about God’s glory and God’s goodness comes in passing moments…and in hindsight. I’ll say more when I see you.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Rev. Fredd
