“Sit With The Lord”

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” 

Matthew 11:28

We all need the rest that only Jesus can give us. It’s a rest for our weary and burdened souls.

These past few months have been exhausting for our nation. The election has taken a toll on all of us. And now, half of our fellow Americans are devastated that their candidate lost. Thankfully, one of the brothers from the Taize community in France is coming to San Diego to lead us in worship.

On November 13 at 7:00 pm in the Founders Chapel at the University of San Diego, Brother Emil will direct a service in the style of worship that is conducted at the monastery in Taize, France. This service will involve contemplative singing of verses of Scripture, silence, Scripture reading, and prayer. Everyone is invited.

Cathy and I met Brother Emil while we spent time with the Taize community last month. He is originally from Quebec, Canada. And each day we participated in three worship services with him at the monastery. It was an amazing way to experience the rest that only Jesus can give.

Jesus is inviting us to come to Him and find rest. I encourage you to take some time to just sit with the Lord. Enjoy being quiet in His presence. You may find yourselves praying or singing. You may even fall asleep. All of that is OK. Jesus will give us rest whenever we come to Him with weary and burdened souls.

In Christ,

Pastor David
