Hatley ϯ CALL TO WORSHIP Leader and Congregation In every one of us there is a longing for home. It's a longing for a place where we are known, accepted, and loved for who we are. It's a longing for a place where we are nurtured, guided, and challenged to become more than we are. It's a longing to belong, and to create a home where more and more of God's children know they belong. God calls to us, "You can come home now. There is a home for you in my forgiving love. There is a home for you in my living Word. There is a home for you in my church, the fellowship of my servant people." And our hearts respond, "We are coming. Open the door wide. We are coming home." ϯHYMN OF PRAISE UMH No. 660 God Is Here ABBOT’S LEIGH Ϯ A STATEMENT OF FAITH OF THE Congregation UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA UMH No. 883 ϮGLORIA PATRI No. 70 MEINEKE ϯPASSING THE PEACE Congregation CHILDREN’S MOMENT Patsy Brewer & Children CONSECRATION OF PRAYER QUILTS Pastor Glenn Myers JOYS AND CONCERNS Pastor Glenn Myers MORNING PRAYER with The Lord’s Prayer Tim Trudgeon

Scripture: Matthew 10:40-42 ( NRSV) 40 “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; 42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple - truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.” We are glad you have joined us this morning, and our hope is that through word, music, fellowship and prayer, you will experience the presence of God today.
