Performance: Bridge Over Troubled Water
| Kirsten Farney
Performance: Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you’re weary, feeling small,
when tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all.
I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough
and friends just can’t be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
When you’re down and out, when you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part, oh, when darkness comes, and pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Sail on, silver girl, Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine,
all your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh, if you need a friend,
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.

Dreaming with Mark
| The Rev. Brian Nystrom
Dreaming with Mark
Mark is my favorite gospel, because it is urgent, simple, and quick. Like August in Jackson Hole, Mark’s story of Jesus might seem a little spare, but it also might surprise you. It is rich and ripe, for those who have ears to hear. Let’s explore this together.
And you don’t even have to read Mark. It was a story composed to be heard, preferably in one sitting, so that’s how we are going to encounter it. Here's a link to a recording of the entire book, read by yours truly. It only takes an hour and twenty minutes, so listen, come with an open mind and an open heart, and let’s see where Mark’s dream takes us.
