Christmas decorations should be taken down on the 12th Night (Epiphany Eve) for good luck. The12th Night (celebrating the arrival of the Wise Men in Bethlehem with their gifts) is always January 5th because Christmas is always December 25th.The Wise Men are representative of all non-Jewish persons who cherish Jesus the Christ and all his teachings.

Greetings to our family and friends 

After many weeks of prayer and discernment, the  Administrative Council has made the decision to cancel in-person worship beginning Sunday, January 3 through Sunday, January 17.  The plan will be to come back to in-person worship on Sunday, January 24.  This decision is in response to the rise of Covid-19 numbers in our county and the recommendation of the Perry Area Ministerium Association.  We value the health and well being of our members and friends. 

Pastor Tony will be recording worship and children's messages  each week and making them available to everyone.

The Church office will be open normal hours during this time.

Blessings

Call To Worship

Gather us in, the lost and the lonely, the broken and breaking, the tired and the aching who long for nourishment found at your feast

GATHER US IN,
The done and the doubting, the wishing and wondering, the puzzled and pondering who long for the company found at your feast.

The done and the doubting, the wishing and wondering, the puzzled and pondering who long for the company found at your feast.

GATHER US IN,
the proud and pretentious, the sure and superior, the never inferior who long for the leveling found at your feast

GATHER US IN, the bright and the bustling, the stirrers, the shakers, the kind laughter makers who long for the deeper joys found at your feast.

GATHER US IN,
from corner or limelight, from mansion or campsite, from fears and obsession, from tears and depression, from untold excesses, from treasured successes, to meet, to eat, to be given a seat, be joined to the vine, be offered new wine, become like the least, be found at the feast.

Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love

The neighbors we have from you.

Kneels at the feet of his friends,

Silently washes their feet,

Master who acts as a slave to them. (refrain)

 

Verse Two

Neighbors are rich and poor,

Neighbors are black and white,

neighbors are near and far away.

(refrain)

 

 

Verse Three

These are the ones we should serve,

 these are the ones we should love;

all these are neighbors to us and you.

(refrain)

 

Verse Four

Loving puts us on our knees,

Serving as though we are slaves,

This is the way we should live with you. (refrain)

 

Verse Five

Kneel at the feet of our friends,

Silently washing their feet,

This is the way we should live with you. (refrain)

 Offertory Prayer

 

Generous God, you have given so much to us, and we have offered back such small amounts in return. We have often served you as part-time followers, giving a fraction of our time and resources to your mission and an overwhelming share to our own indulgences. We strive to do better, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead – pressing on to the goal of serving Christ with all our being. In his name, we pray. Amen. (Philippians 3:4b-14)
