OUR NEW SANCTUARY WINDOWS:
All the stained glass has been ordered and delivered.
Next Step: The artisans have created and delivered a small, sample “mock-up” stained glass window.
This window will be on display in the Gathering Space for the next two or three Sundays.
Note: Per the recommendation of the artisans, the background color for each window will be a very light beige instead of bright yellow, in keeping with the dignity, age and architecture of our church.
This will allow everyone to see first-hand the exact window colors, glass type and fabrication style prior to the “real” window fabrications. Please take the time to come in and view this small sample stained glass window.
Following that, full fabrication of all seven windows will commerce.
We do not yet have dates for final installation, but will keep everyone closely informed of our progress.

Wondering How You Can Help the People of Ukraine?

This fund will provide direct assistance to those in Ukraine as well as assistance to Ukrainians fleeing to neighboring countries.
Gifts to support the people of Ukraine can be made in the following ways:

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Worriers of the world, unite!
Bring your cares and concerns,
your anxieties and greatest fears!
Bring those things that make your toss on your beds,
or that tie your stomach in knots!
Bring your torments!
bring your misgivings!
Bring your troubles,
and everything you dread!
Heap them in huge mountains of distress,
at the feet of the living God.
Watch and see if God is faithful in all things.
Look at the birds of the air!
Our heavenly Father feeds them.
Consider the lilies of the field!
God clothes them in glory that exceeds Solomon's finest.
Are you not more valuable than birds?
Will not God care more for you than for grass?
You of little faith, let your worries go!
Strive first for the kingdom of God and God’s righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well
OPENING HYMN: “A Wilderness Wandering People” #3113 Worship & Song
OPENING PRAYER O Lord our God, you are always more ready to bestow your good gifts on us that we are to seek them, and are willing to give more than we desire or deserve. Help us so to seek that we may truly find, so to ask that we may joyfully receive, so to knock that the door of your mercy may be opened to us; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen CHILDREN’S MESSAGE

DOXOLOGY “Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow” #94 UMH
GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.
...And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven
we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
...And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ,
we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving
as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us,
as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
...Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church,
all honor and glory is yours, almighty Father (God ), now and for ever. Amen.
