Psalm 149
Common English Bible

149 Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing God’s praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2 Let Israel celebrate its maker;
let Zion’s children rejoice in their king!
3 Let them praise God’s name with dance;
let them sing God’s praise with the drum and lyre!
4 Because the Lord is pleased with his people,
God will beautify the poor with saving help.

5 Let the faithful celebrate with glory;
let them shout for joy on their beds.[a]
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 to get revenge against the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8 binding their rulers in chains
and their officials in iron shackles,
9 achieving the justice
written against them.
That will be an honor for all God’s faithful people.

Praise the Lord!

Dear friends,

It is September already. School has started. Nights are a little cooler. I hope you are doing well. Rebecca and I enjoyed August with some time to really explore our great state. I want to thank those who helped lead worship in my absence: Tyler Amundson, Tomi Alger, Rev. Don Hamilton and a double dose of thanks to Mary Hyvonen for filling in for two Sundays! Thanks to our musicians and special musicians for contributing so much to our worship. (Even though I was on vacation, I still watched the worship services on Facebook. Each one was good.)

Literally, Rebecca and I went from one end of the state to the other in August. We started by going to the northwest initially for a service of remembrance for an old friend. Then we continued to stay in the area for a week staying in a cabin on the Kootenai River. There was a lot of smoke from fires in Spokane that blew through, but it was a very enjoyable and relaxing time.

Then later on in the month we went to the geographic center of the state – Lewistown – where there is a beautiful garden labyrinth in one of the city parks. We have always found the practice of walking a labyrinth to be calming and refreshing and this walk was very nice. Several volunteer gardeners were out tending to the roses, gardenias and other beautiful plants.

And finally, we found ourselves in the northeast corner of the state visiting the towns of Plentywood and Scobey. We also crossed the border into North Dakota and explored the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We hoped to see some buffalo in that excursion and we were not disappointed. In fact, we were caught, along with about ten other cars of tourist, in a huge buffalo traffic jam. For nearly an hour, we sat and watched as families of bison filed around our cars. It was a magical and amazing sight.

It will be great to be back with you in worship this coming Sunday. We will hear some challenging words from Jesus on how to treat conflict in churches. It is also the first Sunday of the month which means we will celebrate Holy Communion. Our fellowship time is always special and this week we are invited to share pot-luck style some wonderful goodies.

And please remember, we as a church are also serving refreshments at the Rest Area north of town Sunday afternoon from noon til four and again Monday morning from eight til noon for all of those Labor Day Weekend travelers. Just one way for us to share God’s love with others. If you want to help serve, let me know on Sunday.

We are your hometown church on the corner of Pine and Second street in Roberts. You bless us with your presence. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Blessings,

Pastor David

O God, we call upon you and trust that you hear our prayers. Will you make us aware of your presence this week? Even now, will you give us insight into what it means to walk in your ways and encounter you? We want to be people of praise who give thanks to you and honor your name in every circumstance. Thank you for your willingness to meet us face-to-face. May we do the same. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45b
New International Version

1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

23 Then Israel entered Egypt;
Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people,
to conspire against his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord.

God of the burning bush and of the quiet knowing, speak to us in strange and commonplace ways. Tune our hearts to hear your voice and give us courage and curiosity to take off our shoes and come closer. When we hear your invitation to come and follow, will you fill us with a sense of your loving presence so that we can courageously take up our cross and follow you? Thank you for being a God who speaks in whatever language is necessary. In Christ’s name, Amen.

Psalm 124
New International Version
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging water
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

God of Power and Might, you are the source of any true power we might have. May we come to understand what it means for us to be your beloved children, chosen and redeemed by you because of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Show us how to use the power that you give us to glorify you and build up the church. Amen.
