Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost, October 15, 2023, 10:45 A.M. Sunday Worship Service

<p>Good morning and Happy National Cheese Curd Day, National Lemon Bar Day, and National Mushroom Day! Getting hungry? It is also National Sunday School Teacher Appreciation Day and on behalf of Pastor Michael and the entire congregation we want to say thank you to all of our Sunday School, Bible Study, and Kid&#39;s Club teachers that do so much to help further Christian education for our children, youth, and adults. One of the great things about being a part of a faith community is the opportunity to learn from each other, and to help each other learn and grow in our faith and in our relationship with God.</p> <p><br></p> <p>During our worship time today we will be singing some songs, lifting some prayers, sharing some liturgy, listening to some Scripture readings, and also join Pastor Michael for his message this morning, the second Sunday in our current sermon series, &quot;Thriving.&quot; We also want you to always know that we see you as a beloved sibling in Christ, and a cherished child of God. You are worthy of being, mercy, grace, and love, and having been made in the image of God, are beautiful just the way you are. We hope that you will participate in our worship time in whatever ways you are comfortable, and will be holding you in prayer for the things you are celebrating in your life, and also for the challenges you are facing. God&#39;s love for you and ALL people is unconditional, and there is nothing you can ever do to separate yourself from that love and God&#39;s perfect grace.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We would also like to invite you to join in the chat for the video if you want to say, ask a question, or even want to introduce yourself, but no pressure or expectation. We want you to always feel safe and welcomed in whatever ways you join with us in worship, ministry, fellowship time, or any other gathering or event.
