Rev. Jesse Larson and Rev. Janice Kamikawa jointly led today’s service, which focused on “healing and restoration.” Today marked the third Sunday in the season of Lent—the weeks leading up to Easter. The scripture reading, Jeremiah 18:1-11, concerned God the potter. Pianist Natalya Amelchenko presented music and accompanied the singing of hymns:
I've Got Peace Like a River
Spirit of the Living God
There is a Balm in Gilead;
Change My Heart, O God
My Life Flows On/How Can I Keep From Singing
Jude's Benediction.
