Responsive Scripture - Matthew 6:19-34

Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and
vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.


20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and
vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.


21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.


23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!


24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 

Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?


26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?


27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?


28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.


29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 


30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today
and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you— you of little faith?


31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’


32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father
knows that you need them.


33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.


34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Worship & Picnic in the Park

 

Last Sunday,  the Percival Church gathered for a worship service and picnic in the park. It looked like everyone had a great time, with 20 people in attendance. 

Although I wasn't able to be there, Mary and Beth shared these photos from the day.  A special thank you to Clint Wright for smoking the pork loins. They were enjoyed by all!   Everyone also brought a delicious dish to share, making for a wonderful meal and fellowship. 

Congratulations to  Betty Moyer's granddaughter, who won the beautiful diamond art, donated by Betty Booker.

Responsive Scripture Psalm 33:12-22

 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.


13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;


14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—


15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.


16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.


17
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.


18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,


19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.


20 We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.


21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.


22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
