Annual Meeting of the Congregation – Following worship on Zoom
“Coast Guard Training,” photographer unknown
A sailor on Lake Superior once asked a National Lakeshore ranger if his 40-foot sailboat was big enough to be safe on the Lake. The ranger said, “Well, the Edmund Fitzgerald was 729 feet. You do the math.” I’ve listened to seasoned fishermen talk about being on a fishing tug out on the Lake when the wind was up and looking out of the side door as they were underway. One said, “One moment you’re looking into the water of the Lake, the next you’re looking up into the sky.” Gordon Lightfoot sang, “Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?” Join us on Sunday as we hear and contemplate the story in the Gospel of Mark about the night when the disciples and Jesus were caught in a storm on the Lake.
