LET’S START BAKING FOR THE BAZAAR!

The Holiday Homespun Bazaar will be on Nov.3rd and 4th this year and will be here before we know it. Blueberries and peaches are readily available now – apples will be soon. As you are baking some pies for your family, please think about making some extra for the Bazaar. Again, there will be a supply of mini-pie plates on the counter in the Gathering Space because small pies have been so popular. Take as many as you need. Of course, regular-size pies are popular too!

Many kinds of pies and quick bread (got extra zucchini?) can be made and frozen ahead of time. Let’s start baking!

ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP God loves us.

God cares for us.

God blesses us.

God tends us.


We are God’s precious fruit and faithful seed.


God hears us.

God helps us.

God trusts us.

God tries us.


Sometimes, we are more faulty seed, than precious fruit.

OPENING HYMN: ”I Know Whom I Have Believed” #714 UMH

OPENING PRAYER Precious Lord, strip away the mask I wear during the week to “get by.” Lay my soul bare before you today. Let me see genuine love. Show me the love that hates evil and holds onto what is good. Strip away the mask that holds my emotions in check when I should share your love with someone. Let me see the joy of giving to others. Show me the power of blessing those who persecute me. Strip away the mask that grins and lies and lets the world think otherwise about a child of God. Amen.
