| Worship with us, June 14, 9:30am. Join us in person or on our YouTube channel. Pastor Robin will be preaching on the Gospel of Matthew 9:35—10:8 [9-23] Upcoming Worship Helpers June 14, 9:30 a.m. Greeters/ Ushers: Dean and Ann Bartlet Reader: Amanda Turnquist Sound/ Screen/ Streaming: Jacque Mohs Musician: Praise Band Counters: Lisa Vossekuil and Bonne Fenimore Communion Server: Tom and Jen Acton Communion Bread: Liz Hansen Acolytes/ Crucifer: Devotions from God Pause: In Psalm 50 the psalmist becomes a spokesperson for God about how and why we worship. Speaking for God the psalmist reminds us that God does not need or require offerings that are just going through the motions, like performances of checking the boxes of our “faith checklist.” God desires something much deeper than that. What God requires has to do with the expression of a relationship of trust and dependence. That relationship is evidenced in thanksgiving and the confidence that God will deliver us in the time of trouble. With such confidence we are invited to let go of our need to prove ourselves, let go of our striving, and instead turn toward our Creator God with gratitude and trust. Sunday Bible Study: Bible Study will meet at 11:00 a.m. following morning worship in the classroom near the church office. We invite questions, comments, and connections, as we expand upon the readings from the worship service. |
