Relish - English Language Worship

Summer allows for some time and space to explore, for different rhythms of life and new perspectives. Come and join us this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. to hear stories and words from God for this season of life. All are welcome including kids as we will have Sunday school for them during worship and a time of fellowship after worship. We’re looking forward to seeing you Sunday!

We hear the story this Sunday of Jesus calming a storm on the Sea of Galilee as the disciples attempted to row across. I came across this painting by Rembrandt and I have added some description from Wikipedia. Do you find yourself in a season of storms? Join us for worship this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche at Waterloo Platz to hear what Jesus says in the midst of those storms. We look forward to seeing you!

Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee is a 1633 oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is classified as a history painting and is among the largest and earliest of Rembrandt's works. It was purchased by Bernard Berenson for Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1869 and was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston before its theft in 1990; it remains missing. The painting depicts the biblical event in which Jesus calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee, as is described in the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Mark. It is Rembrandt's only seascape.

The painting, in vertical format, shows a close-up view of Christ's disciples struggling frantically against the heavy storm to regain control of their fishing boat. A huge wave beats the bow and rips the sail. One of the disciples is seen vomiting over the side. Another one, looking directly at the viewer, is a self-portrait of the artist. Only Christ, depicted on the right, remains calm.

We look forward to seeing you for worship this Sunday at the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche at Waterloo Platz at 11:30!

Here is a blessing that goes with our passages for today. I thought of our wonderful community as I read it.

"And this is where Christ shows up again and again: at the table where we gather, in the bread that we break. In the feast and in the simple fare, his presence persists and his blessing abides: waiting for us, staying with us, hungering to be known. May we taste and see." A blessing for you, from me, as we approach the third Sunday of Easter.

EMMAUS BLESSING

Already a blessing
in the walking

already a blessing
on the road

already a blessing
drawing near

already a blessing
in the listening

already a blessing
in the burning hearts

already a blessing
in the almost evening

already a blessing
in the staying

already a blessing
at the table

already a blessing
in the bread

already a blessing
in the breaking

already a blessing
finally known

already a blessing
(give us eyes)

already a blessing
(let us see.)
