Tomorrow is the Third Sunday after Pentecost. Our Scriptures for the week include Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7; Psalm 116:1-2,12-19; and Romans 5:1-8. Matthew 9:35-10:8, (9-23) is the focus for The Message - Sent Before You're Ready.
This will be our Call to Worship:
Leader: God meets us in surprising yet ordinary places - under a tree, in the smile of a stranger, in a refreshing breeze that comes at just the right time.
People: God, open our hearts to notice your presence all around us.
Leader: God speaks to us in surprising yet ordinary ways - in a well-placed word from a friend, in a prayer that comes at just the right time, in a song that resonates through our entire being.
People: God, open our minds to recognize your voice all around us.
Leader: God fulfills God’s promises in surprising yet ordinary ways - in an unexpected act of kindness, in providing just what we need at just the right time, in sending someone to listen when we feel alone.
People: God, open our hands to receive your blessings all around us.
Leader: Beloved, in the surprising and ordinary ways that God shows up among us, may we meet God and our neighbors with open hearts, minds, and hands, ready to encounter God’s miraculous work.
People: God, open our lives to receive your blessings, that we may share together in the joy, wonder, and laughter of God’s miraculous works all around us.
"Freely you have received and freely give." Matthew 10:8
