Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! It’s our Back to School Celebration Sunday. While elementary and high school students still have some time, many college students in the area are starting next week. Given the challenges that this academic year presents above and beyond the normal demands of learning, we want to offer a special time of prayer for all students, instructors, and staff who work and learn in school and college settings. Our message this week focuses on something Jesus said about children. In Mark 10:15, he says, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” What does it mean to receive the kingdom in this way? How does that affect how we live our lives? Join us this Sunday for “School’s Always In Session” to find out. Everyone who comes is welcome to receive free fully stocked backpacks or choose from among our pantry of school supplies!
Here is some information to help you participate in worship online:
- The response to our interactive opening prayer is, “Lord, let us receive your love like little children.”
- Today’s songs are “To God Be the Glory” and “Spirit Song.” Look up the words online, and you can sing along.
- The scripture reading is Mark 10:13-16.
- Please leave a prayer request in the comment section so that we can celebrate God’s kindness and discern God’s will with you.
- Share an offering in our app in Givelify or send a check to the church.
We’re looking forward to worshipping with you. Have a blessed Lord’s day, everyone!
