Pianist Natalya Amelchenko starts off our May 17 worship service with some innovative hymn arrangements, followed by welcoming remarks from Pastor Jesse Larson and a reading from Psalm 66: 8-20. Jesse talks about the feelings of uncertainty, stress and disappointment we all are experiencing due to the coronavirus crisis, and he reminds that there are so many blessings and opportunities still among us. Rev. Jesse echoes the psalmist of long ago: “Ultimately, God will bring us through to the other side.”
