So, I said I would pour out my wrath on them and destroy them in the wilderness. 14 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out. 15 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful of all lands— 16 because they rejected my laws and did not follow my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths. For their hearts were devoted to their idols. 17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or put an end to them in the wilderness. 18 I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not follow the statutes of your parents or keep their laws or defile yourselves with their idols. 19 I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 20 Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.”

Ezekiel 20:13-20
13 “‘Yet the people of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did
not follow my decrees but rejected my laws—by which the person who
obeys them will live—and they utterly desecrated my Sabbaths. So, I said I
would pour out my wrath on them and destroy them in the wilderness.
14 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being
profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
15 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not
bring them into the land I had given them—a land flowing with milk and
honey, the most beautiful of all lands—
16 because they rejected my laws and did not follow my decrees and
desecrated my Sabbaths. For their hearts were devoted to their idols.
17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or put
an end to them in the wilderness.
18 I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not follow the statutes of
your parents or keep their laws or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and
be careful to keep my laws.
20 Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.”

Sid Hawkins Emmaus Scholarship Fund
As everyone knows Emmaus was a huge part of Sid's life. He strived each day to build
that community and was such a big part in so many members of RBUMC attending.
All Sid truly wanted was for people to find the love of Jesus. He worked diligently to
share the word of our Lord and the grace of Jesus. In an effort to insure his work
continues there has been a scholarship fund established in his name. We encourage
anyone who has been a part of the Emmaus community to share your experience and
continue to encourage others to attend. This fund will be available for those who
would like to attend but may not be able to afford it. Donations should be designated
to the Sid Hawkins Emmaus Scholarship Fund.

Hymn (8:50am only) on the screen
*Affirmation of Faith “Apostle’ Creed “ on the screen
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son
our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried, the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into
heaven, and sittith at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of
sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
