Welcome
Welcome
by Rev. Kerry Smith
I spent a few days this week at clergy retreat with my colleagues in the North Texas Conference of the UMC. Musician Mark Miller was our presenter and my voice was hoarse from singing so much! One of my favorite Mark Miller songs is called “Welcome.”
The words are by Laurie Zelman and Mark Miller and the music is by Mark Miller. As a room full of 200 pastors sang this song, I thought of how this song IS White Rock UMC. I am so excited about this Sunday as we commit to God our giving for 2023. I am so excited to be a part of all that God is doing at White Rock and I feel so fortunate that we have the opportunity to partner with God through the giving of our financial gifts.
Thank you for being who you are and thank you for being a part of White Rock UMC!

“Welcome"
Let’s walk together for a while and ask where we begin
To build a world where love can grow and hope can enter in.
To be the hands of healing and to plant the seeds of peace,
Singing welcome
Welcome to this place.
You’re invited to come and know God’s grace.
All are welcome, the love of God to share,
‘Cause all of us are welcome here; all are welcome in this place.
Let’s talk together of a time when we will share a feast,
Where pride and power kneel to serve the lonely and the least,
And joy will set the table as we join our hands to pray,
Singing welcome,
Welcome to this place.
You’re invited to come and know God’s grace.
All are welcome, the love of God to share,
‘Cause all of us are welcome here; all are welcome in this place.
Let’s dream together of the day when earth and heaven are one,
A city built of love and light, the new Jerusalem,
Where our mourning turns to dancing, every creature lifts its voice!
Crying welcome!
