Consecration Sunday 10:00 a.m.
First Things First Rev. Doug Anderson Deuteronomy 26:1-11
We have been anticipating Consecration Sunday with excitement for a number of weeks. It’s finally here! You have chosen to support PUMC and its ministries with your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness. Thank you! God is calling us to grow in grace and gratitude. Today, we will celebrate God’s gifts. We will celebrate our fellowship as God’s people. We will enjoy lunch together. And we will each prayerfully respond to the call of God to grow spiritually in our financial giving to the ministries of PUMC.

Deuteronomy 26:1-11 (NRSV) 1 When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, 2 you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. 3 You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” 4 When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the Lord your God, 5 you shall make this response before the Lord your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. 6 When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, 7 we cried to the Lord, the God of our ancestors; the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. 8 The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; 9 and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O Lord, have given me.” You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. 11 Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.
