Matthew 5:1-12; Psalm 34:1-10, 22 | It’s common to hear words like “blessed” and “blessing” in everyday conversation. Look online and you might find people attributing what they experience to being #blessed. But what, really, is blessing? Where does it come from, and how does it relate to our lives as saints in God’s Kingdom? Join us this weekend for worship as we give thanks for all the saints – past, present, and future – and as we claim our own blessedness in God’s sight, going forth to live into our holy vocation as saints in God’s Kingdom.
