“Entertaining Angels”

Welcome ……………………..…………...…...Matt Fowler

 

*Unison Prayer:

Divine Companion, from beginning to end, we rest in your embrace, though we do not always acknowledge or recognize your presence. All along our days you journey with us. Sometimes you are a loud shout to help us to heed your call. Sometimes you are a quiet whisper to help us to listen. You help shape our questions and are patient with our answers. O God, how wonderful you are. How good it is to be in your presence. We bring to you our whole life, our joy and our grief, our patience and our worry, our dreams and our despair. Like a long-time friend, you know us beginning to end. And you embrace us into new life. Amen.

Silent Meditation / Pastoral Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Special Music

“His Eye Is on The Sparrow” …….................Kara Muller

 

*Scripture ………………………..….Hebrews 13:1-3,6-8

 

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. 3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. 

 

6 So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.

    What can mere mortals do to me?”

7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
