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 Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.

– John D. Rockefeller Jr. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

– Winston Churchill Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all humankind? How can you defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?

– John Wesley The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

– Mitch Albom

God has loved with everlasting love!

We are the children of the One who draws us to His side.

Sing your praise to the Author of our Days; God has saved us by his grace. In His love abide.

Nothing separates us from the love of God in heav’n and earth below: no worries for today nor the days to come, but by our faith we know God has loved with everlasting love!

We are the children of the One who draws us to His side.

Sing your praise to the Author of our Days; God has saved us by his grace. In His love abide.

Though heaven and earth may pass away, the sun and stars may fade, our faith is sure in God’s embrace.

Rejoice, lift up your voice and sing to the King!

Celebrate redeeming grace!

O love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, that in Thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be.
