Call to Worship

One: Something drew us together this morning

All: Something we can’t name but which we experience in worship

One: Some holy mystery we call God

All: Some sacred calling we hear in the life of Jesus

One: Some indescribable hope we feel when we gather in the Spirit

All: May our experience of the Divine transform our doubts and fears 

and prepare us to love the world.

Opening Hymn       Potluck Hymn

Scripture Lesson   Mark 1:29-39

           

Sermon                 “Let’s Go”                 Dr. Keith Ray

Thoughts to Ponder:  In today’s passage from Mark, Jesus leaves a town where people are amazed at his work and teaching.  

When they want to have more time with Jesus, he decides to leave.  

Let’s explore the WHY of Jesus’ mission and seek to understand why he leaves.  

Could there be a message for us in Jesus’ act of taking his message near and far?  

Is it possible for the church to become too comfortable and risk-averse? 

Let’s consider this text together. 

 

Prayers of the People

Closing Hymn and Offertory             Potluck Hymn

Shalom       (“May you be well and whole and in communion with all creation.”)

                          Shalom, my friends, Shalom, my friends, Shalom, Shalom.

                            Till we meet again, Till we meet again, Shalom, Shalom.
