Call to Worship 🙌
Prayer of Confession 🙏
Lord, we like BIG things. We have focused on big cars, big houses, big bank accounts, big, big, big! And you must be disappointed in us when we forget that from even the smallest thing something mighty can happen.
Today the scriptures remind us of the smallness of the mustard seed and the tiny grain of yeast. Each of these things grew into something that offered shelter, peace, and hope, which became the treasures of compassion.
We learn of how even when we seek our own path over yours, like Jacob and Laban… you find us and fulfill your eternal promise.
Open our hearts to receive your word of love and healing, and let our spirits be ready to grow for you. Forgive our stubborn resistance to your faithful presence. For all things will work for the good for those who love God and are called according to God’s purpose. AMEN.
Assurance of Pardon Remembering Our Baptism 💦
Gloria Patri 🎼
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World without end, Amen. Amen.

Offering
In the most uncertain times, such as now, we take stock of what we have and we save for the unknown future ahead. Yet scripture tells us that it is the Lord that cares for every hair on our head and He will supply our every need.
In that hope and faith, we continue to Be the church during these difficult days, knowing ultimately that though this world may fail us – God remains constant.
We seek not only your gifts of money to further this work but also your hands and feet, talents, time and you. So that as we continue down this new path before us, we might be a living and working model of the Kingdom to come.
We invite you to join us in ministry during these difficult times. You may give online at Tithe.ly or mail a check to the office.

The Lord Bless and Keep You 🎼
The Lord bless and keep you,

The Lord bless and keep you,

Shalom. Shalom.
