The United Methodist Women’s Mother’s Day Luncheon in Founders Hall was filled with happiness, moms, guests, beautiful (and in some cases whimsical) décor based on Broadway shows such as Music Man, Carousel, Annie Get Your Gun, The Lion King.  Under fine direction, the Youth Bell choir, Canticle choir and solo performers rang, sang and played with spirit, making everyone glad they got the kids to all those lessons.  Food was provided by the Kiss Me Katerers and Spamalot Servers—mmm, delicious!

Order of Worship Announcements

Dear Friends,

“Those who danced,” wrote Angela Monet, “were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.”  Perhaps this is why those who attend worship each week discover a strange vitality that powers them throughout their lives — a joy which cannot be understood or felt by those who do not.  This Sunday is Music Appreciation Sunday at San Dieguito UMC, a day to give thanks for the holy “insanity” we share together through the ministry of our music program.  It is a day to honor the extraordinary work of so many people — about 120 adults and youth and children — who contribute to the worship life of our congregation each week, and whose songs of praise lead us to the holy mountain of God.  I know you will want to join me this week in giving thanks for their ministry of music and the joy that it brings to our lives.  Our text, appropriate for the occasion, will be Psalm 47: “Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with songs of joy.”

See you Sunday,
Rev. Mark
