PASTOR MARGERY’S MESSAGE
SEPTEMBER 2026
One of the wonderful gifts which God has given us is the diversity all around us and within us. The world is full of things which are different from us and from one another. The world is rich and amazing. Sometimes, we have trouble appreciating all those differences, especially if the difference is in other people. We are all unique; not a single person who has ever lived or will ever live is the same as any other person. There are times when our differences feel too different and we struggle to fit in, to belong. Those struggles can get in the way of gathering with others in worship. We here at Perry Hall UMC want to provide a way to worship for those who can struggle to worship in our regular Sunday morning service. We are starting a new kind of worship service on Sunday, September 20th, at 2:00pm. We will meet in the Ark Room, room 205, for 30 minutes. After the worship service, we will host a time for social connection for those who want that. The worship service is called Heavenly Haven, because we want to give people a chance to worship in a sensory sensitive space: a sacred space. We will be asking those who worship with us what might be helpful to them, and we will be doing our best to provide that, so that we can all connect with God in our own way. If you would like to join us, you are welcome just as you are. If you would like to help us, please contact me. Above all, please pray for us and those who will be worshipping together. We celebrate the magnificent uniqueness with which God created each of us. Amen.
