Worship - September 25, 2022
Luke 15:1-7, Ezekiel 34:11-16
“Wanted”
Pastor Steve Johnson

Due to an internet problem, we apologize for no Call to Worship and Gloria Patri. Thank you!

    World Communion Sunday is October 2. On that Sunday we will celebrate Holy Communion along with churches around the world. It is a reminder that the Church includes Christians of all denominations in every corner of the Earth. We are all united by the sacrifice of Jesus for our salvation.
We are visibly reminded of our common faith in Christ as we partake of his body and blood on the same day.
     This special day, which is always the first Sunday in October, reminds me that our Christian faith is to be personal but not private. We each have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, but we are not to keep it to ourselves as isolated individuals. There are no “lone ranger” Christians, or as John Wesley told the early Methodists, no solitary Christians. We are meant to live in communion (fellowship) with one another for support, encouragement, building one another up in our faith and
sometimes rebuking.
     Let us also pray for our sisters and brothers in Christ who must worship secretly in places where persecution is happening. Sometimes it’s hard for us to believe that some Christians are making the ultimate sacrifice of their lives for the sake of Christ. May we never take our freedom of worship
for granted as we remember those who don’t have it.
