1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 & JAMES 1:12 PRINCIPAL RAY HELMUTH VAN BUREN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PUMC welcomes the staff and faculty of Van Buren Elementary School and the staff of PUMC’s own Weekday Children’s Ministries to worship this weekend to celebrate their service to the children of Plainfield. PUMC’s partnership with Van Buren Elementary School is just one way PUMC serves the children of Plainfield. In supporting and encouraging teachers and staff at Van Buren, we support and encourage the local children and families they serve. As PUMC serves as an encouraging partner with the Just Be Kind Kids Club, we empower children to change and bless their world. As PUMC serves community meals, helps local families with financial aid, and hosts early childhood and before & after school programs, we show the children of Plainfield the BIG Love of God. We welcome Van Buren Elementary School Principal Ray Helmuth to bring the message. We hope worship and fellowship today are a blessing to all, especially children, students, their families, and all teachers and education workers.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 (NRSV) Blessed is the person who remains steadfast under trial, for when they have stood the test they will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
JAMES 1:12 (NRSV)

ANTHEM
God’s glory is on tour in the skies. God’s handiwork is exhibited across the horizon. Day holds classes every morning. Night lectures each evening. Their words aren’t heard and their voices aren’t recorded. But, their silence fills the earth. Unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. This is how God’s word vaults across the skies from sunset to sunset. And, it accomplishes all that it sets out to do. Let our voices join the voices of all creation in a thunderous shout to God’s holy majesty. The rocks and trees can take the day off: Our tongues will lead the praise parade. From our mouths let worship pour forth. Amen, amen, amen! Let worship begin! Based on Psalm 19.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
arr Craig Courtney Sanctuary Choir
TIME FOR PRAYER PASTORAL PRAYER THE LORD’S PRAYER 895
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. GIVING Because God gives, we give. Thank you for your generosity.
