Communion Sunday
Genesis 2: 1-3
“In the Beginning: Enter Sandman”
Spiritual Principle: Night We all need to rest from the day. Rest is vitally
important for physical and mental health. Rest can also be a time to call upon something that is beyond the self. In this time of rest, pause to recognize the presence of God, the Spirit of God, and celebrate who God is — “The Great I AM.” Have full knowledge and trust that the Holy Spirit will be working on my behalf as I rest; setting up the day that will be, so that I can be a kingdom builder and a child of God.
