we had some singing, warming up for our EWE debut... nick showed off his hand-crafted box dulcimer, brandon shared some of his cello skills, and eric led us with the trusty guitar.
after a rambling music jam, we read through the entire book of ephesians out loud.
it was some goodness, i tell you what.
you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit...
that power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead...
because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions...
it is by grace you have been saved...
for he himself is our peace...
you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge...
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God...
do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen...
be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you...
for you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord...
submit to one another out of reverence for Christ...
