As we gather in worship this week, may grace and peace be multiplied to us in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! (2 Peter 1:2) Words of praise from Psalm 104 will point us toward the Lord in worship, followed by the song Come Thou Fount Come Thou King. Then, Psalm 63:1 gives further expression for our thirst for God as we seek after him in our worship, and in John 7:37-38 we hear Christ’s invitation to come to him to find thirst-quenching life in him. So we’ll draw near to Christ as we sing Come Ye Sinners, hear the gospel words of life in him from Romans 5:6-10, and respond by proclaiming in song that It Was Finished Upon That Cross.

Once again this week we will pray for and dismiss all kids aged 3 yrs to 5th grade to Children’s Church. (We ask parents to please go with your child to check them in at this time.) And after a brief welcome and prayer, Pastor Andrew will continue his ON TARGET sermon series with a focus this week on Maturity and Gifting from 1 Peter 4:7-11. We’ll respond together with a sung prayer, Holy Spirit. To close our time of worship we will pray for our Giving, and be sent out with some brief Announcements and a Benediction. Please tell us how we can be praying for you. Send your prayer requests to: prayer@meadowsfamily.org.
