Sunday, May 12th, 2024: "The Healing City"
Watch the Sermon here First United Presbyterian Church “The Healing City” Rev. Amy Morgan May 12, 2024 Revelation 22:1-2 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. The Clinton River runs through downtown Pontiac, Michigan. But you can’t see it. That’s because it was covered up in 1963. The city was struggling with perennial flooding, and it was more economical to pave over the river than to implement flood mitigation designs. There have been studies and plans and public forums over the last few decades about the possibility of uncovering, or “daylighting,” the river. But to this day, the Clinton river flows into a conduit at one end of town and flows back out on the other end of town.
