The Hope Filled Happenings

Loving God
Worship Notes
In Holy Communion, God meets us in the meal. Jesus is truly present, and we come by the Spirit’s grace. You are always welcome at God’s table. All baptized believers are welcome to share in this, God’s gift to us. Receive the bread and eat. Receive the wine (or juice) and drink.
Place cup in nearby basket.
Gluten free option by request.
Welcome
Hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love” (Psalm 130:7, ESV). Welcome to worship, one and all.
Stewardship of your whole life
Romans 8:6 – To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Sometimes stewarding the soul is as simple as “setting your mind the Spirit,” leaning into our faith and taking steps toward life and peace.
Preparation for Worship
Where we tend to see hopelessness in the world, O God, give us vision to see what you are doing — and to join your life-giving work.
Prayer Ventures
Amid solemn Lenten reflections, take heart and give thanks for the promise and proclamation Jesus made to Martha, the sister of Lazarus: “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live” (John 11:25)

“Death is not a wall, but a door….Those we love are with the Lord and He has promised to be with us. If she is with Him and He is with us,
she can’t be far away.”
