Order of Worship July 15, 2018 Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Liturgical Color: Green

Gathering

As we gather to worship our Lord, feel free to greet your neighbors in Christian love. However, when the

announcements begin, please take your seats and, at the chiming of the hour, prepare your hearts and

minds for worship. Out of courtesy for your brothers and sisters in faith, silence your cell phones so we can be in

a spirit of worship throughout the service. A nursery is available for children, newborn to age 4.

Please see an usher or sound tech if you’d like to use one of our hearing devices.

*Please stand as you are able. CCLI # 1090020 Have you signed the attendance pad? Check for the pad on the pew near the center aisle.

Before you leave, please check your area to make sure you have all your items, pick up any loose papers and return hymnals/Bibles to the rack; thank you for keeping the Sanctuary clean and organized.

Welcome to Morrow First UMC! We hope that our worship service will be a blessing to you

and your family. We pray that the Spirit of God touches your heart as we worship

together. For your convenience, an information card can be found in each hymnal. This card

will help you as we proceed through the worship service. The card also explains some of the

areas of the church and the worship leaders involved in the service. Should you need any

assistance during the worship service, an usher will be happy to help you.

Please complete a guest/visitor card found in the pew pocket and drop the card in the offering

plate so that we might know of your presence in our Lord’s house. If you would like more

information about our church or scheduled activities, please call the church office or email

Rev. Luis Ortiz or Cora Johnson. All church contact information can be found at the bottom of

the opposite page. God bless you and thank you for worshipping with us!
