Worship

September 2

I am thankful for worship. Worship is a humbling experience in which we put aside our imperfections and pray, honor, and pay tribute to our God. It is a time of reflection and remembrance. It is a time of removing the masks covering our faces and show our true selves to our Lord and to ourselves. It is a time to look forward and to plan a better future. It is a time of thanks for all of our blessings and a time to think about and pray for others. It is a time to put away petty differences and politics as we remember why we worship. Worship is a time of love.

This is a photo from Ash Wednesday this year at my church, Broadmoor Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge. This is the communion table with the elements in readiness to be shared.

worship

we worship you oh Lord

for great is your name

you have enabled us

and removed our blame

for life and your love

we bless your name on high

for with you by our side

there’s no reason to cry

alone without your love

drifting aimlessly along

we need you in our lives

where you will always belong.
