The People of God November 9, 2014

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 How you express and live out your faith may have a greater impact on your son or daughter than anything else.

The most important social influence in shaping young people’s religious lives is the religious life modeled and taught to them by their parents.

– Chap Clark and Kara E. Powell

Sticky Faith: Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in your Kids We don’t introduce children to worship to make them good but rather that they will know who they are. We trust that worship which is attentive to the gospel’s grand story will transform their lives (and ours), will feed their imaginations not their egos, and will help them (and us) learn to order our lives by the gift of God’s time.

– Debra Dean Murphy

Lord of the Morning, I bow before you, feeling the warming of the sun’s rays.

I come to great you, Master Creator.

Lord of the morning, I give you praise.

Lord of the morning, I bow before you, my heart exploring blessings anew.

God of great mercy, love overflowing, your love renews me; I worship you.
