TODAY IS WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY
Sunday, October 4 is being celebrated around the world by many Christian denominations. As a part of this celebration, the United Methodist Church receives a special offering that is designated for scholarships for youth and young adults who are facing financial obstacles that make higher education difficult or impossible. Offering envelopes will be with the offering plate for those attending church on Sundays. Others may include this offering in whatever way you give. Offerings may be given any time in October.
GATHERING
CALL TO WORSHIP
O give thanks to the Lord, call on God’s name,
Make known God’s deeds among the peoples!
Sing to the Lord, sing praises!
Tell of all God’s wonderful works!
HYMN “Christians, We Have Met to Worship”
OPENING PRAYER
Have mercy upon us, O God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies,
Blot out our transgressions.
Wash us thoroughly from our inequities, and cleanse us from our sins.
For we acknowledge our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us.
Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

DOXOLOGY #94 UMH PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
As we bring our tithes and offerings to you, O God of steadfast love, we thank you for the lessons of the past. We remember all that you have done for us; make us truly grateful. We remember times of joy and times of sorrow; may these experiences make us compassionate toward others. We share the memory of your people as they have journeyed through time; it is our story as well. May the richness of our past be the ground out of which love, hope, faithfulness, justice and peace blossom. We ask this in the name of the Prince of Peace, Jesus our friend and brother. Amen.
