Scripture is flowing with women who sing. Voicing prayers, praises, and pleas. Composing powerful messages about courage, community, compassion, and justice. In Exodus, Miriam’s song guides the Israelites safely across the sea and through the wilderness, sealing her eternal legacy as a singing prophet. In the Gospels, we learn the lyrical story of Mary and Martha, whose words and wanderings with Jesus point us to a musical message about the roles we hold in creating God’s kingdom and the love we are called to share with the world. Like these grandmothers of the faith, our own grandmothers shape our beliefs and stir our questions, teaching us the notes for turning bitter water into sweet refrain. As we worship, we will remember and re-imagine inherited songs. Come, let us celebrate the Love of God as we welcome Rebecca Wilson as our preacher and celebrate Pride Sunday.
