house blessing

11/10/09 Last night I led an order for a blessing of a home for our Music Director, Diana, and her family. They had waited for more than a year for their old house to sell before finding this new home that is so much closer to church and to their friends. There are some set pieces in the liturgy: greeting, prayers, scripture readings, etc. But I like to personalize it by having the invited guests and family go from room to room and ask specific prayers for that particular space. Those spontaneous prayers were very moving. I saw a few tears. We have a home....a church home, a family, a dwelling, a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens...we are blessed.

Love,
Lynn
