From whichever platform your participating in worship today, let us know in the comments that you're here. Say hi! 

As you are a part of our online worship, it is a recording of our previous week's in person worship service. We do that so that we can share in a higher quality of worship together. Even though the service is recorded, Pastor John is down in the comments of the service every weekend.

What comes next follows the same order of service that is used during in person worship.

Prelude-All Creatures of Our God and King

Welcome
To start today, will you say this prayer with me
Come Holy Spirit, come show us how we can be the spiritual heart of this community

I'm glad to be worshiping with you today!
Today is the day of Pentecost when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit so that we can know God is at work in us and through us.

In Christ Alone

Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service, Witness
As people of faith, we share who we are with each other. Below I invite you to share your joys and concerns, your prayer requests, and your offerings. You can use the link below, or in the comments

Share a joy, concern, and/or prayer request

Remember that you can mail in your offerings to:

Marceline UMC
321 N Kansas Ave
Marceline, MO 64658

You can also give online

Take some time for some personal prayer, and take some time to give. This could be the time when you go online, or you write a check to the church, or when you make that commitment to give in a different way.

After the personal prayer, I'll say a prayer (if you're watching the video), and then join in saying the Lord's Prayer below.

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. 
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen 

Scripture Reading
Our scripture reading for worship is 1 Corinthians 13:13
As you are able, please stand for the reading of God's Word.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love. 

Leader: This is the word of God, for the people of God
People: Thanks be to God!

Today's Message: Congratulations Graduates!
