WE CENTER OURSELVES ON GOD
Welcome to a time of Sabbath, rest, and renewal
\May 28, 2017 Glade Matters
Shared moments of information and inspiration about our church family
Prelude “Elevation” Dom Paul Benoit
*Processional Hymn “De colores (Sing of Colors)” #402
*Call to Worship
L: We do not know the time or season of God’s visitation among us.
P: But we await God’s promise as we gather in this house of prayer.
L: Cast your anxieties on God, for he cares about you.
P: We long for support and comfort and for assurance of eternal life.
L: God will establish and strengthen you in times of suffering.
P: We humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand and are watchful, as we
stand firm in faith.
L: Christ intercedes on our behalf, that we may know God’s love and care.
P: We join Christ in praying that we may be one, as Christ is one with the
Father.
*Prayer of Invocation (Offered by All)
Your judgment begins with us, O God, for we have chosen to follow Jesus and
to identify ourselves as Christians. But, we have wandered from your ways,
dealt treacherously with others, broken your law, and we have also violated
the purity of spirit you expect from us. Forgive us, we pray, for the sake of
Jesus Christ, whom we intend to more closely follow and with renewed
commitment. Amen.
Time With The Children
Scripture Reading: Acts 1: 6-14; John 17: 1-11
L: The Word of God, for the people of God.
P: Thanks be to God!

The Prayer Jesus taught Us
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.
WE GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD’S WILL AND CARE

Food Bank Items for May
Let’s celebrate Cinco de Mayo all month long with food bank
donations of salsa, canned chili, tortillas (non refrigerated),
refried beans, rice, and other Mexican-style foods. The food
bank is always requesting canned pasta, peas, and fruit, boxed
potatoes & toilet tissue. As well as food donations, cash
donations are also accepted by the Glade Valley Community Services
at P.O. Box 655, Walkersville, MD 21793
Today is the last day of Sunday School.
Wishing our students and teachers a
wonderful summer, be safe! We will
see you for Sunday School in the fall!
Next Sunday June 4th, we will begin our worship
service at 9:30 a.m. We will also begin our fellowship
time after the worship service and continue during the
summer months. If you would like to host a Sunday
during the summer to provide the refreshments, please
visit the sign-up sheet in the back of the sanctuary.
The Second Mile Recipient for May
Homewood Retirement Center
Let us remember those older folks who have been living in a
retirement home so long that their financial resources are
exhausted by giving to the Homewood Benevolent Fund to
support them. The fund is used to help all those living at
Homewood to receive the same level of care regardless of their ability to pay.
Please place your check in the offering plate and designate “Homewood” to give
to this special offering.
