A Century of Divine Design | A Poetic Reflection shares Rev. Linda Furtado’s morning-of writing for a historical marker unveiling at Scarritt Bennett Center. Grounded in Psalm 78:1–4 and Isaiah 43:19 (CEB), and echoing Matthew 11:28, this post weaves memory, justice, hospitality, and generational witness into a hopeful poem about God “doing a new thing” across a century of sacred leadership and community.
