Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation Come Away From Rush and Hurry (Hymn 302) This is the text of the hymn used in our prelude today.

Come away from rush and hurry to the stillness of God’s peace; from our vain ambition’s worry, come to Christ to find release.

Come away from noise and clamor, life’s demands and frenzied pace; come to join the people gathered here to seek and find God’s grace.

In the pastures of God’s goodness we lie down to rest our soul.

From the waters of God’s mercy we drink deeply, are made whole.

At the table of God’s presence all the saints are richly fed.

With the oil of God’s anointing into service we are led.

Come, then, children, with your burdens — life’s confusion, fears and pain.

Leave them at the cross of Jesus; take instead His kingdom’s reign.

Bring your thirsts, for He will quench them — He alone will satisfy.

All our longing find attainment when to self we gladly die.
