Worship for Sunday June 5, 2016

The month of June has arrived.  Summer is here, even if only in our dreams.  The warmth of God’s love is always celebrated here are First UMC.  We worship at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning and would love to welcome you.  This week we are celebrating our graduates and sharing communion.

Scripture Reading: Luke 7:11-17

Sermon: More Than Human Touch

Morning Prayer: God of the fathomless universe, without seeing you we love you, without touching you we embrace.  You touch us as well, often mysteriously, silently.  Yet sometimes your touch comes to us in very ordinary ways – a kind word, a caring smile, a gentle touch.  Today we pause to recognize the power of human touch which can also be your life-giving touch.  In Jesus.  Amen.

Songs: This is a Day of New Beginnings; Christ Has Risen; Lord of the Dance

Musicians: Velda Graham Bell, organ; Sannah Arvidson-Hicks, piano; Stephanie Giuliani, dance; Mary Whitlock, vocal solo; Joshua Peterson, organ
