KOINONIA'S RIPPLES
I was thinking then and now over the September 11 “Memorial” weekend of our need for rest and renewal. At the rededication of the Conference Center on September 4th we read Psalm 127. The psalm invites us to build our hopes on the Lord and to rest easy.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. … It is in vain that you rise up early and go to bed late, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep” Psalm 127).
Isn’t it relaxing to simply read those words? Then let them rest in your mind as you go back to your toils. I pray that you will indeed sleep better.
And if you still have a hard time sleeping, then come to Koinonia!!
On June 17th our Executive Director, Kathleen Kristin Ruen was interviewed on the radio by Grace Woodward to talk about Koinonia!
