Worship Preview

All of us want to invest in worthwhile activities. We make plans and sacrifices that better prepare us for a range of eventualities. When we feel our best, energized in mind, body, and spirit, we become internally motivated to move forward. We tend to take better care of ourselves, make wiser decisions, and gain increased capacity to treat others with respect, grace, and love. When we are at our best, we gain insight and perspective about yesterday and the courage to lay aside every encumbrance. We embrace the future fueled by genuine hope. But the inverse is also true. Fear, worry, and doubt reduce our faith when we are not feeling our best. We find ourselves more isolated, critical and judging. There is a climate of rushing to judgment, a lack of compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. There is a better way. Invest in the future. But how? Think about a time you have received mercy and forgiveness. Was it unexpected? Did being loved, forgiven, and understood help you in return to be more loving, forgiving, and understanding? This Sunday, find out how Joseph found hope through forgiveness and why Jesus challenged the crowds to find a future through mercy.

Music Preview

We will enjoy a music solo from Barbara Cain titled, “With All My Heart,” written by Sally DeFord to encourage children to love God with all their heart, might, mind, and strength based on Jesus’ words from Mark 12:30. Our sending hymn, “Christ Your Words of Love Astound Us,” is based on our Gospel reading and is sung to the 1844 tune “God Whose Giving Knows No Ending” with lyrics by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette (2019).

“…That you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:18).

Physical distancing and masks are required, even for fully vaccinated worshippers. Thank you for helping us all stay safe.
