Messenger 8/16/24
For Sunday service, Judy Doyle will be serving as our Worship Leader and leading us through the Opening Prayer and the Call To Worship.
This week’s scripture reading will be Ephesians 5:15-20
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, always giving thanks to God the Father and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A special thanks to this week’s Ushers, George & Cathe Hargenrader.
