Today is a communion Sunday. If you are joining us online, before the worship service, you are invited to assemble what you will eat and what you will drink. It can be bread and grape juice or wine or as simple as a cracker or rice cake and water for use in our worship.

This morning I’m concluding my series of sermons on the Psalms. As a springboard for these sermons, I’ve used the album by Paul Simon from a couple of years ago, Seven Psalms. Over seven Sundays, we’ve listened to Simon’s music before worship.

When I started this, I said that I intended to make the sermons more about the Psalms than about Simon—and I think I’ve done that. Last Sunday, I didn’t mention him at all!

But this morning I want to start with an interview that Simon did when his album was released. The interview title said: “Paul Simon doesn’t want you to think his album is about dying.”

It kind of is.

So, too, are the Psalms in the Bible. As much as they speak to us of dying, however, even more they sing of living.

Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 38:16-20; Colossians 1:15-20
