Worship Service Assistants
Until Things return nearer to normal, no one will be assigned. At the present time, our worship needs are a liturgist and an Acolyte. Judy has been our Pandemic Liturgist and Austin is our #1 acolyte. Judy has agreed to hang in there and we now have Austin back. We will contact folks as we continue to increase more normal scenarios.

“When God values us truly
or recognizes us as God’s children,
rather than as strangers,
God sees beyond our appearances…
When we recognize strangers as Jesus,
we too see beyond appearances.
Gospel hospitality is marked
by such recognition.”

OPENING PRAYER
Leader 1: Be careful!
Leader 2: Watch out!
Leader 1: You might get a bad reputation coming to church with us.
Leader 2: If you haven’t noticed,
Jesus is known for keeping bad company.
Leader 1: Jesus was always eating and drinking
with tax collectors and sinners.
Leader 2: Jesus even called Levi, one of Rome’s tax collectors,
and ranked him among the twelve apostles.
Leader 1: You didn’t really expect to find this church full of saints,
did you?
Leader 2: Look around you. Every member of this church
has confessed to being a sinner.
Leader 1: So be careful!
Leader 2: Jesus came to call not the righteous, but sinners

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen
