How long?
Worship is rooted in the call “How long?” of the prophet Habakkuk as the people wait on God to be present with them in their deep suffering. As we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and renew our baptism we live into the answer – God’s grace is always already with us in our joy and in our lament. Worship online with thetable.live.
