Call to Worship
Come, let us bow down to the Lord; let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
In the ancient times, God had mercy on Israel
and led them through the desert to a new land.
This day the Lord is showering us with mercy, bringing us hope and peace.
We long to feel the showers of hope and mercy on us.
Lord, guide our feet as we run this race of faith for you.
Lord, open our hearts as we reach out to others in compassion. AMEN.

BENEDICTION
You may hold back and wonder what might have been;
Or you may choose God and rejoice in the many ways
you will see God’s love in the world.
It’s all about choices — which will you choose?
This answer can make all the difference in your life.
Go in peace!
We go to follow Christ.

Construction Update
The new facilities are almost ready to occupy! If you have not had the opportunity to stop by the church office for a tour, please call us and we’ll be glad to schedule one.
The new Danner Garden and Courtyard is coming along, too. When completed it will be a place where people can pray, meditate, have outdoor services, and be in God’s presence. There will be some brick paved areas, along with plants and shrubs. The pavers are the ones from the “Pathway to Life” that ran between the church and the ATTIC Youth House. There is room for more engraved pavers in memory of honor of loved ones. If you are interested in placing one there, please contact the church office.
And thanks to the contributions of many people, the port-cochere for the front of the church is well underway! It will not only define the front of the church, but will provide a beautiful and welcoming front for the facility. The sidewalks and parking areas are being constructed now, so everyone is asked to park in the Rutledge Avenue parking lot and to enter the sanctuary through the narthex doors on that side for the next couple of weeks.
