Love People First

We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sunday, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Love People First”. We will be reading from Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 32.

Call to Worship, Psalm 32:1-7
Leader: Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
People: Whose sin is covered.
Leader: Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity,
People: And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Leader: While I kept silence, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
People: For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
Leader: My strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
People: Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity;
Leader: I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
People: And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Leader: Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you;
People: At a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.
Leader: You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble;
People: You surround me with glad cries of deliverance.
