Home Worship
For right now, staying home is the way we love our neighbor. Think about it: you may be staying home for your own health, but you also can not be a carrier to others you might come in contact with. But being isolated from human contact for days on end gets very lonely. We don’t know how long we will be sequestered in our homes, so please be in prayer for those who live alone. Remember also those who do not have a home or safe haven. Take this time to grow in your trust of God and not be anxious.
In John 14:27 Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
This is not live-streamed worship, happening in real time as you are at home, but it is a way we can bind together through worship while we must stay apart physically. Everything posted here in Home Worship has been compiled by Highland Park laity and staff, with the hope of helping you feel closer to one another, and helping you draw closer to Almighty God, who is always with us.
May God bless you and keep you.
Now, let’s worship together.

A Closing Thought -
"The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident."- Max Lucado

Benediction
May God give you faith to put fear under your feet.
May you know that for every way the enemy comes against you,
the Lord has a promise to bless you to help you stand strong.
May you fix your eyes on Jesus and set your heart on His Word.
Trust in God today and rest well tonight.
Amen.
