“The wolf shall
live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the
kid…and a little child shall lead them.” Isaiah 11: 6
From Pastor Kennetha Bigham-Tsai
The prophet Isaiah envisioned a
time when all of God’s creation would live in harmony and
goodwill--and, a little child would lead the way to this
place of peace. That time is not yet in our world, but it is
a time that we can imagine and for which we pray. It is a
time, in particular, that we will imagine together this
coming Sunday, May 18.
Our children, joined by
award-winning author Janet Mary Sinke, will enact a story
about a little girl named Priscilla who stands up to kings
to ask, “Why?” This little girl challenges them and
us to erase the divisive lines we draw in the sand and to
join hands with those who are different. She proposes a new
set of rules for her world and for ours. Those rules sound a
lot like the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Be good to your
neighbor.
Show others you care.
Speak kindly.
Rejoice with all colors of hair.
Make peace as you journey
So all understand
That life is more fun
Without lines in the sand.
Join us this Sunday to support our
children and be blessed by their ministry. All are welcome
to this time of worship. After the service, there will be a
presentation by the author and a book signing in Asbury
Hall. Ms. Sinke will be joined by illustrator Craig
Pennington. Books will be available for purchase.
Shalom!
