Weekly Announcements
Fall/Winter Worship Hours:
Traditional Worship is at 8:00 a.m. and Worship Express at 9:15 a.m.
Worship Express this year may look familiar; we will be following a similar format to what we used for Family Express prior to Covid. Songs will be “kid” friendly and shorter and one lesson will be read responsively with different groups of the congregation taking the parts of the different characters. There will be more visuals on the big screen, a Children’s Word and a shorter sermon. We are looking forward to having our families back at worship!
Sunday, November 3: All Saints Sunday with Holy Communion
This is going to be a special Sunday. During both services, we will remember those saints who passed from this life to the next in the past year. Some of our older members will share their wisdom in a video shown before worship services in the Narthex. And we will explore the meaning of that section in the Apostle’s Creed where we confess “I believe in the communion of saints.” To help us visualize its meaning, young people will be walking around church dressed like saints past, present and future.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Sunday, November 10: Worship
Widows are everywhere in today’s readings. Jesus denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but who give relatively little of their hoards. He commends the poor widow who in his view gave far more than the major donors. Jesus doesn’t see her simply as an object of compassion or charity. She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit of food with Elijah, does something of great importance.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Lion and Lamby will join us at Worship Express
Sunday, November 17:
Worship with Holy Communion/ New Member Sunday
In the last week of his life, Jesus warned his disciples about the trials that were to come upon them and upon the world. He encourages us not to be alarmed.
Guest Preacher: Sandy Grant Liturgist: Pastor Paula
Sunday, November 24:
Worship/ Christ the King Sunday
Every year we try to get our heads wrapped around the idea that “Christ the King” is nothing like our earthly rulers. He speaks the truth, but forces no one to listen. But we would be fools not to. Jesus is the one King who truly offers us life.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
