Have you noticed that going to the store to purchase water is not a simple task? There are a lot of options: vitamin water, fruit-flavored water, “Smart Water,” sparkling water…the list goes on and on.

Water is life-giving. Without it, we die.

David, the shepherd boy who became the king of Israel, was being chased by King Saul. As he took refuge in the Judean wilderness he wrote this beautiful psalm:

“You God, are my God, earnestly I seek you: I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”

God waters our souls and refreshes our spirits. Rev. Brian Carr, director of Church Relations, serves Christ at Residing Hope, formerly known as the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. He will offer the message “Have You Ever Been Thirsty?” based on Psalm 63:1-5.

Come and be refreshed this Sunday morning at 9am or 11am! The writer of Psalm 107 writes: “He also can turn a barren wilderness into an oasis with water! He can make springs flow into desert lands.”

Peace,

Pastors Cathy and Doug
