Wednesday Pasta & Prayer
Every Wednesday evening, beginning this coming Wednesday - April 29th, we will have a Zoom prayer meeting beginning at 6:00. Join in to share your concerns and praises and to pray with your brothers and sisters. If you are eating while we are praying, we'll just mute you.
Friday Bible Challenge
Sara Mitchell has a good idea. Nothing new there. Each week, she will distribute a word or phrase that appears a number of times in the Bible. You participate by simply finding one of the references and sharing it on a conference call along with your thoughts on that passage. For the first session, the word was 'red' and we talked about 'red haired', 'red stew', 'red cord', 'red horse' and 'red dragon'. There is even a prize. The conference call will be weekly at 2:00 Friday afternoon.

PRAISE OF THE PEOPLE
Peace, bringing it all to peace
The storm surrounding me
Let it break at Your name
Still, call the sea to still
The rage in me to still
Every wave at Your name
Breathe, then call these bones to live
Call these lungs to sing
Once again, I will praise
Your name is a light that the shadows can't deny
Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name…
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear
Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
Jesus, Jesus
PASSING THE PLATE.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING
JESUS CALMS THE STORM :: MARK 4:35-41
(READ ALOUD) 35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!”Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
BENEDICTION :: WE ARE SENT IN HIS LOVE
(Read Aloud) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5.7-11
Closing Song
If You don't build it, we labor in vain
Without Your Spirit, we stand with no strength
I know my life is passing away
But the works of Your hands are what will remain
Teach us to number the length of our days
Pour out Your power, we'll pour out Your praise
Teach us to run, to finish the race
For only what's done in love will remain
Hallelujah! (repeat)
Let the favor of the Lord rest upon us…
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
