"Go out into the world in peace. Have courage; hold on to
what is good. Return no one evil for evil. Strengthen the
faint-hearted, support the weak, help the suffering.
Honor everyone. Love and serve God, rejoicing in the power
of the Spirit. And may the blessing of Almighty God, Father
and Son, and Holy Spirit be with you now and remain with
you always. Amen."
The pastor of the Zion Lutheran Church in Western Massachusetts said that prayer weekly to attendees of Jazz Vespers Services for many months.
The final service of the season took place recently.
Jazz has never been a favorite style of music for me but the Vespers Services at Zion Lutheran uplifted and inspired.
They also brought quietness and a touch of spirituality in the busyness of every week.
That prayer, recited weekly by the pastor, never failed to bring peace to my heart as well as tears to my eyes.
To him and to all the talented and faithful musicians, heartfelt thanks are in order.
May they each go in peace for bringing so much to others.
WHAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF PEACE?
