Building Relationships with People in Christ
This Sunday
Sermon
“Doxology”
Rev. Donna Chavez
Scripture Readings
Psalm 67
Deuteronomy 26: 1-11
Dear Friends,
We had a wonderful Presbytery meeting yesterday where we celebrated the gifts of women in ministry down through history and today. The opening hymn we sang really spoke to me and I would like to share it with you.
God of the Women
by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette
God of the women who answered your call,
Trusting your promises, giving their all,
Women like Sarah and Hannah and Ruth —
Give us their courage to live in your truth.
God of the women who walked Jesus' Way,
Giving their resources, learning to pray,
Mary, Joanna, Susanna, and more —
May we give freely as they did before.
God of the women long put to the test,
Left out of stories, forgotten, oppressed,
Quietly asking: "Who smiled at my birth?" —
In Jesus' dying you show us our worth.
God of the women who ran from the tomb, Prayed with the others in that upper room,
Then felt your Spirit on Pentecost Day —
May we so gladly proclaim you today.
O God of Phoebe and ministers all,
May we be joyful in answering your call.
Give us the strength of your Spirit so near
That we may share in your ministry here.
May it be so!
Yours in Christ,
Ron

THIS WEEK
November 24, 2019
9:15AM—Breakfast Snacks
9:30AM—Sunday School
Grades K-6
November 24 – Movie Workshop - In the movie, The Lord’s Prayer, children view the story of Peter being arrested and released from prison (Acts 12: 1-17). The story illustrates to children the power of prayer. They learn that when they pray, they should be faithful and believe that God answers prayers and it will be the answer that God knows is best. Children form a prayer circle to exercise the power of pray-er and learn how a simple popcorn prayer can be a burst of prayer offered up to God anytime and anywhere.
Grades 7-12
November 24: “What’s the Point?”
Adults
Adult Class – will continue a series on Prayer led by
