Worship for Sunday May 29, 2016

It is a holiday weekend.  We would love to welcome you to our worship at 10 a.m.  Education opportunities for adults both before and after worship.

Scripture Reading: I Kings 18:20-39

Sermon: Passion is No Ordinary Word

Morning Prayer: God of the voice of thunder and the sound of silence, God of the tiny spark and the blazing fire, we’ve witnessed damage done in your name – violence, oppression, mean-spiritedness.  In the words of a poet, “the worst are full of passionate intensity.”  In reaction we try to keep our faith quite reasonable, yet in doing so we risk having a superficial faith or a colder heart.  We pray for courage, O God, courage to let our faith go deep, courage to nurture a faith that is both passionate and thoughtful.  Warm our hearts, set our souls ablaze so we are changed and we change our world for good.  In Jesus.  Amen.

Songs: My Lord, What a Morning; Healer of Our Every Ill; God of the Ages

Musicians: Velda Graham Bell, organ; Riley Hinnenkamp, piano; Parker Hinnenkamp, organ

Special Faith Forum After Hours: Dr. Mazvita Machinga from the Pastoral Care Center in Mutare, Zimbabwe will speak about her work.  11:15-Noon in the Fireside Lounge
