The Journey

"We are pilgrims on a journey - CCS # 550

1. We are pilgrims on a journey, here together on the road; we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.
2. Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you? Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant too.
3. I will hold the Christ-light for you in the night-time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
4. I will weep when you are weeping, when you laugh I'll laugh with you; I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through.

World Conference 2023 starts on Saturday, April 22!  I know some people are already on the journey to conference.  I will be flying on April 20th and I look forward to seeing Independence again!  
 
I choose the hymn above before I went on the website and saw the hymn list.  The hymnal is 10 years old this year!!!  I love to just read the hymns as poetry.  The hymns that are on the website for conference are available in multiple languages.
 
I read through the legislation on the Community of Christ website again today.  Whether you are making an actual journey to conference or you are staying home, check out the conference website.  Wherever you are, you are part of Community of Christ.  Join together in prayer, study, discernment, financial and courageous support.  
 
As CCS 550 sings "we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load... I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through.

Joshua 1:9
I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’
