Reflection: “There is in you something that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself and sometimes there is so much traffic going on in your minds, so many different kinds of signals, so many vast impulses floating through your organism that go back thousands of generations, long before you were even a thought in the mind of creation, and you are buffeted by these, and in the midst of all of this you have got to find out what your name is. Who are you? How does the sound of the genuine come through to you… The sound of the genuine is flowing through you. Don’t be deceived and thrown off by all the noises that are a part even of your dreams, your ambitions, so that you don’t hear the sound of the genuine in you, because that is the only true guide that you will ever have, and if you don’t have that you don’t have a thing.” — Howard Thurman

Each week we are sharing a next step related to the message — a PRACTICE TO COME ALIVE. This week’s practice is Listening for the Sound of the Genuine. Join our journey each Tuesday. Visit fccedmond.org/comealive or follow and share on Facebook and Instagram.

We Gather at the Lord’s Table

Jesus didn’t put any rules around coming to the table, so neither do we. All are loved and embraced here and all are welcome at this table of Love. Our communion bread is gluten free. We come forward to the table to receive bread and cup at 9AM, we pass the bread and cup at 11AM. Please place your empty cup in the rack on the pew back. If you are worshipping from home, we invite you to find bread and juice or other elements to use as we share this feast.

We Greet and Go Forth
Engage with your neighbor as you go out to serve and carry God’s love to the world.
