Psalm 22 is famously associated with Holy Week. Jesus suspended from the cross, close to death, quotes its opening words: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And here we
have it in the Easter season. But this psalm takes unexpected turns, as many psalms do, and by the time we reach today’s portion, the final seven verses, the tone is decidedly different, even serene and triumphant. Please join us this Sunday as we unpack
Psalm 22:24-30 and discover God’s prayer for us - “May your heart live forever.”
Come and worship with us at First United Methodist Church. Then attend the Open House from 1p.m. till 3:00 p.m. We’ll see you there!

LET US PRAY: Living God, we know that Christ’s healing presence is with us today, here to change our perspectives and lead us into abundance. Because of this, we can be honest about our lives and our struggles. This is the key to peace: as soon as truth is spoken and the desire for healing is known,
Divine Love begins the process of resurrecting your life. Amen.
