Posted by The Rev. Dr. Gerald Sevick on

  We believe in sacred space… be that Moses and the burning bush, the place of Jacob’s dream, the location of the crucifixion of Jesus, or the “worship space” of our Sunday morning gatherings. Sacred space does not mean God is more present in one place than another. ...

What is it that you place in the offering plate every Sunday?  It is a symbol.  It is a symbol of your past. It is a symbol of the years you spent in school – offered to God. It is a symbol of the sacrifices you made to learn a skill, a trade a vocation. It is a symbol of the ...
