A Sound of Sheer Silence
Ever feel like you're sinking and just need someone to grab your hand? This Sunday, Peter finds himself mid-storm, faltering on a wind-tossed sea — and Jesus reaches for him before the water even calms. It turns out that's not the only place steadiness shows up in the unexpected: Elijah goes looking for God in the wind, the earthquake, the fire, and finds him instead in "a sound of sheer silence."
Come hear what these two storms have to say about where God actually meets us.
Our music holds that same thread. Sibelius' Finlandia ("Be Still My Soul") frames the service in the prelude and postlude, and the offertory pairs "Be Still My Soul" with "You Raise Me Up" — a call to trust God's steadiness amid the storm.
