Good morning!
We're so glad you decided to join us today!
When we meet together, we take time to share our joys and concerns together. Consider your past week. If you have any prayer requests, you can add them to this post as a comment. When you are ready, use the prayer below (source) to get started.
Almighty and everlasting God,
You are always more ready to hear than we are to pray, and to give more than we desire or deserve. Pour down upon us the abundance of Your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is convicted, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.
Today's lesson is on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.
Our Sunday School lesson is titled Résumé of Those Called. Paul is addressing a division in the church between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom.
Conclusion
Martin Luther believed that Godly wisdom was ordained by God and worldly wisdom is a human doctrine of glory which leads to the blinding of hearts. To the world the brutal execution of Jesus does not seem like a victory. God’s power and salvation is revealed in the resurrection. Prayer Father, we bow our hearts before you. Your ways are far beyond the ways of human wisdom. May we rely on your strength and wisdom as we put our trust in your Son. It is in his name we pray. Amen. Thought to Remember God's ways seem foolish to a world impressed by cleverness and success.
Benediction
This week's benediction is from the New International Version. 
Next week's lesson is on 2 Timothy 1:3-14.
Our guest speaker this week is Rev. Renny Domske.
Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Music Director Robert Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 13 How Long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How Long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? My enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. Look on me and answer me, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, so I do not sleep in death. Yet I trust in Your unfailing love for me; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, the Lord my God, for my God has surely been good to me.

VOTUM and SALUTATION:
INTROIT: HYMN: “God of Grace and God of Glory” CALL TO WORSHIP: Weary and overwhelmed, we gather. God’s holy word revives us. Simple and confused, we yield. God’s word gives us wisdom. Blind and uncomprehending, we await. God’s word enlightens our eyes. More precious than gold is God’s word. Sweeter than honey are God’s commands.
Good morning!
We're so glad that you've joined us today!
Lois did our lesson this week, and requested that we listen to this hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul."
Horatio G. Spafford wrote the text to this hymn. His son only son died of pneumonia. He then lost everything in the Chicago fire of 1871. He planned to travel with his wife and four daughters back to England. However, Spafford was detained with business at the last minute, and his family traveled without him. The ship they were on sank, killing all four of his daughters. When his wife reached Cardiff, Wales, Mrs. Spafford sent a telegram to her husband: "Saved Alone." Spafford immediately went to join her. The words were said to be written as he approached the area of the ocean where the ship carrying his daughters sank.
When we met together in person, we share our joys and concerns. Take some time to think about the last week. Who might you pray for? What prayer requests do you have? If you have any that you would like to share, you can add them as a comment below. When you are ready, pray the prayer below, including any prayer requests we may have.
Good morning!
We're delighted that you decided to join us today!
When we met in person, we talked about our joys and concerns. Think over your past week, and what joys and concerns you have. When you are ready, work through the prayer below. It should allow you to include your prayers woven through a Psalm. (It is a little long!)
