The Call To Worship So, Let Us Trust The Lord Adapted: From Luke 12:32-34 – Marben Bland

Leader: Jesus says: “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights in giving you the kingdom.”

People: So, let us trust the Lord Leader: Jesus says: Sell your possessions and give to those in need.

People: So, let us trust the Lord Leader: Jesus says because you trust the Lord Make for yourselves wallets that don’t wear out—a treasure in heaven that never runs out. No thief comes near there, and no moth destroys.

People: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be too. So, let us trust the Lord

#450 Blessed Assurance, Jesus In Mine Fanny J. Crosby/Phoebe P. Knapp

1.Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfectly delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Refrain This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.

Luke 12:32-34 Common English Bible

32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights in giving you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to those in need. Make for yourselves wallets that don’t wear out—a treasure in heaven that never runs out. No thief comes near there, and no moth destroys. 34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be too.

BAGS

The Athens-Clarke County Homeless Coalition reports unsheltered homelessness is at its highest rate since 2017. Blessings bags is a tangible way of showing your kindness for people experiencing homelessness. Put these and other items listed below in clear gallon zip lock bags that you can carry in your car.

Hand-Warmers It’s hot now but cold nights are coming.

Bag of Quarters These are nice to include for washing clothes at the laundromat. Put them in a snack-size Ziploc bag to keep them contained in a smaller area.

Bottle of Water Mini water bottles work great so they don’t take up too much space.

Band-Aids Cuts and scrapes do happen.

Baby Wipes A small pack are a great way to keep fresh and clean.

Hand Sanitizer Another great option to stay fresh and clean
