Pentecost Sunday Service - 31/05/2020

Praying through the Psalms Surprisingly Reoriented Having followed the Walter Brueggerman Scheme from the Psalms as: Being securely oriented Being painfully disoriented Being surprisingly reoriented The Jewish experience in the Psalms, witnesses to a human experience with an invitation to bring every human experience to Jehovah. Emphasizing that Jehovah delights in engaging with humanity through every detail of their human experience. Therefore the way they place their Laments and Complaints in their songs of worship may add value to our prayers and worship. So today we hear about the God of all surprises, as God re orientates Humanities worse decisions. Fr. Mervyn Singh We would love to hear from you !
