Labor Day Retreat Sunday Service

As we gather together for Retreat Sunday Service, we visit the theme of rest. In this day and age, especially in a competitive city like New York, it is easy to become anxious and stressed out.

However, in his letter to the Philippians, Paul invites us to rest, to let go of the things we can't control and give them up to God. In turn, this frees up our minds to be present with what God has put in front us. Today, then, let's allow God to free us from being mired in our failures, our regrets, and our mistakes, and instead focus on what we can influence, what we can do now, for the people we love, and for God's glory here and forever.
