Adult Sunday School
John Meader’s Adult Sunday School class is meeting each Sunday at 9am in the
Parlor. Presently we are using Max Lucado’s book, Help is Here, and the
accompanying DVD to learn more about the Holy Spirit. All are welcome!
Our little pantry at Sparks of Hope is nearly empty, and our shelves are bare. Members of our recovery community rely on your generosity to see them through the hard times. Please drop off nonperishable groceries when Sparks is open, or leave them inside the pantry.
The Church office is glad to announce that services going forward will be streamed via YouTube Live, in addition to the current Facebook Live services. You can access the Youtube live stream on our Youtube Channel, or directly on our church website homepage.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Almighty God: From the ends of the earth
you have gathered us around Christ’s holy table.
We come to feast together.
Have mercy on your church, troubled and divided.
Renew us and make us one. Amen
OPENING HYMN:” All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 UMH
OPENING PRAYER We congress to you, all-knowing God, what we are. We are not the people we like others to think we are.
We are afraid to admit, even to ourselves, what lies in the depths of our souls.
But we cannot hide our true selves from you. You know us as we are, and yet you love us.
Help us not to shrink from self-knowledge. Teach us to respect ourselves for your sake.
Give us the courage to put our trust in your guiding power.
Raise us out of the paralysis of guilt into the freedom and energy of forgiven people. And for those who, through long habit, find forgiveness hard to accept,
we ask you to break their bondage and set them free;
through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.
