OCTOBER 7, 2018 NEWDAY PRAISE WORSHIP | 8:45 & 10:00 A.M.

GOD GAVE IT TO US

DEUTERONOMY 8:11-18 REV. ELIZABETH GILBERT We like to think we are self-sufficient, but it’s a hard notion to maintain. How did your breakfast get to your table? Who grew the food, packed it, and delivered it to the store or restaurant? Who made your clothes? And on it goes. Many people played a part in providing the “stuff” of our lives. If we investigate deeply enough, we discover God—the source of “all good gifts.” Ultimately and correctly, our gratitude is to God. We are on The Gratitude Path. The first Jesus-followers were not called “Christians” for a number of years. At first they were called people of “The Way.” That evokes the notion of a path—a hike—if you will. The path to gratitude is the path to knowing God, proclaiming God, and seeing God. It’s a life-giving and life-changing destination. In fact, gratitude is a path that puts us in direct contact with Jesus!

God Gave It to Us Trailhead #2

Identify a new, different, or unfamiliar way to express gratitude to God this week. Practice this new expression of gratitude for the next seven days.


TODAY’S SCRIPTURE Take care that you do not forget the Lord your God, by failing to keep his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I am commanding you today. When you have eaten your fill and have built fine houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied, then do not exalt yourself, forgetting the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, an arid wasteland with poisonous snakes and scorpions. He made water flow for you from flint rock, and fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors did not know, to humble you and to test you, and in the end to do you good. Do not say to yourself, “My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today.

DEUTERONOMY 8:11-18 (NRSV)

CONSECRATION SUNDAY IS COMING OCTOBER 28

oU

s

Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical perspective do not view the money Christians give to their church merely as a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congregations see financial contributions as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God by supporting their church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of their incomes. To this end, PUMC’s Finance Committee has selected the New Consecration Sunday Stewardship Program again this year as a way to teach the biblical and spiritual principles of generous giving in our stewardship education emphasis this year. New Consecration Sunday is based on the biblical philosophy of the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development, rather than on the need of the church to receive. Instead of treating people like members of a social club who should pay dues, we will treat people like followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of discipleship. New Consecration Sunday encourages people toward proportionate and systematic giving in response to the question, “What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?”

Consecration Sunday Worship and Celebration October 28, 2018

8:45 and 10:00 a.m. in both Classic Sanctuary Worship & NewDay Praise Worship Childcare, Children’s Activities, and Continental Breakfast Provided

During morning worship on Consecration Sunday, October 28, we are asking attendees and members to make their financial commitments to the church’s missionary, benevolent, and educational ministries in this community and around the world. Every attendee and member who completes an Estimate of Giving Card does so voluntarily by attending morning worship on Consecration Sunday. We urge people to attend who feel strongly opposed to completing a card. The procedure is done in such a way that no one feels personal embarrassment if he or she chooses not to fill out a card. During morning worship our guest leader, Rev. Kent Millard, author of The Gratitude Path, will conduct a brief period of instruction and inspiration, climaxed by members making their commitments as a confidential act of worship. We encourage you to participate in worship on Consecration Sunday. Worship will be according to PUMC’s usual worship schedule of 8:45 and 10:00 a.m. in both Classic Sanctuary Worship and NewDay Praise Worship. Persons from whom PUMC does not receive a pledge card response in worship on that Sunday will receive one the mail in the days following. The Consecration Sunday Team led by Mike Rohrer will make every effort to plan informative and inspiring worship events that Sunday. Thanks in advance for your enthusiastic participation in Consecration Sunday events. Nikki Shoultz Church Council Chair council@pumc.org
