Finding the meaning of Sabbath
By the Rev. Stephen Luzader - Your pastor speaks
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”- Psalm 46:10
At the beginning of May I asked a parent of one of our seniors if their student was ready for graduation? The mother replied, “She is ready, but first we all have to get through the month of May-hem.” I heard this and it stopped me in my tracks. It spoke to me in a very honest and open way, and caused me to reflect on what she meant and realizing how busy the month of May is for families.
