OpenSpirit Summer Sabbath: Water of Life
OpenSpirit Sunday Evening, July 26, 2009; 7:00 pm; Performing Arts Center of MetroWest
We are called together this final evening before a time of Sabbath during the month of August. (Remember, we come together again on Sunday, September 20th – and what rejoicing there will be!!) But this night, let us reflect on summer, on Sabbath, and on the Spirit’s invitation to come to the water of life. 
What does this mean, ‘the water of life’? Friends, we find ourselves in the deep, lush middle of summer. It is time to think about what is before us — where we are going, what journeys lie ahead of us. With curiosity and anticipation, we ask ‘what kind of happening of Spirit will come upon us tonight’?
In poetry and song, and in the final words (almost) in the entire Bible, we find an invitation voiced by the Spirit and the church to “Come!”: “Let all who hear say ‘Come!’ Let all who thirst say ‘Come!’ And let those who wish take the water of life, given freely!” Why not hear this word, and . . . come!
Come and join us for song and prayer, story and silence, music and meal.
Come!
