Pastor Update

Hello, YVPCers and Friends, 

Some comments about Psalm 27: 1, 4–9 from Paula: excerpts from her sermon 1/25

" How can the intimacy that is longed for in this Psalm be achieved?

It is achieved not by perfect behavior, but by a heart that keeps turning toward God.  It is achieved by seeking God's presence more than God's gifts, by wanting God him/herself more than solutions or escape.  It is achieved through honesty, through trust, through returning again and again to the One whose face we long to see.  To seek God's face is to choose relationship--to desire God not at a distance, but near enough to be known and near enough to know."

Sylvia has a dream--to plant a native and pollinator garden in our front area that now is mostly weeds.  We are a small church with older members who don't have the ability to do the work of establishing or maintaining a garden on their own.  If there is a group of interested people that have a desire to create a garden that welcomes our native animals from insects to birds, please call the church and let us know.  
Peace and blessings, 
Paula and Sylvia
