Call to Worship                                                                                           Jacquelyn Elbel 

When the Lord calls us to the banquet, we get puffed up with importance.

Humility needs to be our attitude; humility and gratitude.

 

Help us, O Lord, be grateful for the many ways in which you love us.

Help us return that love by the way in which we care for others.

Be with us, O Lord, this day.

Open our hearts to hear your words of hope and encouragement. AMEN.

 

Hymn                                            “How Firm a Foundation”                             UMH 451

 

"How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you who for refuge   to Jesus have fled?

"Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand upheld                                                                                                                         by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

"When through deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

(Praying for what was shared on FB Live.)

 

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
