Think of a River

Think of water

Falling as rain

Bubbling up from springs

Running down as streams and creeks

Until they meet in the larger flow of a river.

 

Think of a River;

Water flowing;

Carrying silt and debris

From all the places it has touched.

From all the streams and creeks that have fed it

 

Think of the ocean

Receiving the water and all that it carries

From all the rivers

From all the streams

Musical meditation

I'm finally tackling my second service on the four classical elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water). This one will be Water. For the meditation, I'm doing a rather poetic meditation on the flow of water as a metaphor for the flow of life/time. Traditionally, we follow the meditation with a musical meditation. Normally, it's classical music from a rather lectionary-like three year schedule the sound guy worked out. I prefer to pick something that fits my theme, and in this case I have two popular songs that I've long been fond of that fit the flow idea:

Where in Voices united??

I'm after a printed prayer I found and used for worhip in the spring. It's in the hymns part of voices united (not the back part0

It's kind of/sort of a paraphrase of the Lord's prayer-similar sentimeents-but it talks about WATER

I acan't find it in the index of prayers-they are too vague

Anyone know this prayer and could tell me the number of it?

Is water Baptism for Today

Ephesians 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

 

God says there is only one baptism and so many baptize with water and others claim its only spiritual baptism. That being the case if we believe God then it will either have to water baptism or it will have to be only spiritual baptism.
