Today we finish our series on some of the strange stories from the Old Testament Prelude As the music starts before the service, take some time to center yourself in God's presence and direct your thoughts to him. Meet & Greet This is a time to say hi to the folks around you, and to share in God's peace and grace as we gather as a community of faith First Hymn: #110 A Mighty Fortress is Our God Announcements On Wednesday, join us out at Pioneer for a worship service with the residents at 11am Joys & Concerns
This is a time to share the good things, joys, and celebrations in that have taken place in the last week, as well as the hard things and concerns that we face. Silent Prayer, Pastoral Prayer, Lord's Prayer Take some time to lift your prayers up to God, especially the joys and concerns that have been stated, or that have been left unstated. After some time for silent prayer, Pastor John will lead in a few words of prayer, and then we'll join together in 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 forever. Amen. Children's Message This is a time led by a church member with a message specially for our kids. Afterwards, the children are invited to go with the Sunday School teachers downstairs for their own special part of the service. They'll come back up at the end of the service. As the children come forward, please join in singing the first verse of Jesus Loves Me 1. Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me! (sing 3x’s) The Bible tells me so. Offertory The ushers will come forward and receive the offering plates. The liturgist will say a prayer as we begin a time to give to God. This isn't just about the money that we put in the plates, but it is about how we give to God out of our love for him. Doxology After the offertory has finished, please stand as you are able, and join in giving thanks to God for these offerings. Please join in singing the doxology. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Prayer & Scripture: Joshua 6:20-21 20Then the people shouted. They blew the trumpets. As soon as the people heard the trumpet blast, they shouted a loud war cry. Then the wall collapsed. The people went up against the city, attacking straight ahead. They captured the city. 21Without mercy, they wiped out everything in the city as something reserved for God—man and woman, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys. Leader: This is the Word of God, for the people of God People: Thanks be to God!
