A New Thing

We've been working this morning on the service for this Sunday, May 28th. This week's scripture is great and I thought I'd share:

This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can't get up;
they're snuffed out like so many candles:
"Forget about what's happened;
don't keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new.
It's bursting out! Don't you see it?

(Isaiah 43:16-19a from the Message)
