 Blessings

 

I was gathering a few red leaves from a bush in our backyard when I spotted a small lavender flower hidden underneath. How often beauty is right in front of us, just waiting to be noticed. So thankful for these little unexpected gifts 😊

  Good Morning!

 

 This weeks worship service, thank you Jan and Mary

 

 

Prelude

Psalm 107:1,15

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let us give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. 

 

Read Psalm 100:1-5

 

Hymn # 395  "We Plow the Fields and Scatter the Good Seed"

 

Offering- Doxology

 

Hymn # 65 "Moment by Moment"

 

Prayer and Praise

 

Jesus often taught by telling parables. Some of these parables compared people to plants. Read these parables-

The Parable of the Mustard Seed- Matthew 13:31,32 

Parable of the Sower- Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

Parable of the Weeds- Matthew 13:24-30, 37-43

 

Hymn #365 "My Tribute"

 

When we think about harvesting, we usually think of corn, soybeans or maybe our garden vegetables. Jesus talked about harvesting people for God's Kingdom.

Read John 4:34-37

Read Galations 6:7-10

Read Luke 10:2

 

Hymn # 205 "Go Tell it on the Mountain"

 

Now we are going to talk about harvesting crops. First, let's see what it was like in Old Testament times.

Read Leviticus 19:9-10

Read Deuteronomy 24:19

Read Ruth 2:1-12

 

Hymn "Bringing in the Sheaves"

 

Prayer-  Thank you, God for the corn and soybeans we harvested this year. Help us to harvest people for your kingdom too.

 

Hymn #18 "Love of God"
