Welcome
Bless you for joining us today. At Nor folk UMC we focus on real people, living real lives, and seeking to ser ve a real God. We have a bold vision for ministr y which includes wor ship, pr aise and pr ayer at the center. It goes without saying that we believe in Jesus Chr ist and the power of the Holy Spir it. All of our ministr ies are done with these values and beliefs in mind. We are not in the number s game, we seek daily to minister according to the will of God. God has blessed our church and each member in awesome ways. We all declare that "each mor ning new mercies I see." Our pr ayer for you today is that God will bless your presence even in vir tual online for mat, that you will feel the presence of the Lord and that you will encounter God in a fresh and new way. Ser ving as the pastor of this congregation is a joy and a challenge.

We are not a Mega Church, however, we are absolutely a Mighty Church. This is what real life and real living is all about. Believing God for the impossible, believing that God is still working mir acles daily, believing that God is in control. So get your pr aise on and be blessed of the Lord.
Faithfully Ser ving & Leading,

THE WORD FOR TODAY Pastor Sherry L. Daniels ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS
By:Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church God of the univer se, we come to wor ship this mor ning,
longing to set our minds on the Holy Spir it, to live with Chr ist within us. We have not always made room for Chr ist in the clutter of our lives. We have indulged our wants so often, that too often the voice of the Spir it is downed out. As we dedicate these gifts this mor ning, may it help us to live more in tune with the Spir it, and to use our resources in a way that reflects that Chr ist is Lord of all our lives. In his holy name, we pr ay. Amen.(Romans 8:1- 11) ?Souled Out? By:Hezekiah Walker
