Centering our Hearts, Minds and Bodies

We gather for worship coming from all different directions,

different walks of life, different concerns, different experiences,

different worldly conditions.

But we do so united in the desire to love God,

to follow Jesus, and to feel the Spirit in our lives.

We create this worshipping body by breathing deeply together,

surrendering our worries, quieting our minds, and lighting our candles –

united in spirit though separated by space.

Call to Worship

Our response is in bold.

What do we need?

To worship our Creator.

What do we need?

To listen for the Spirit.

What do we need?

To love like Jesus.

What do we need?

For God to be the center of our lives.

Come, let us worship God!

Hymn

Opening Prayer

Gracious God, you ask what we need even though you know the answer before

we speak it. You take time to listen, even though you must have better things to

do. You respond to what we have said, even when what you wanted to give us

was something else completely. Even when what you wanted us to know is that

we are entirely and thoroughly and forever you beloved children. Thank you.

Help us accept your love. Teach us to offer the same to others. Amen.

Sharing the Peace

May the peace of Christ be with you all!

And also with you.

Please greet one another with signs of Christ’s peace.

Breaking Open the Word

Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and

taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not

even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a

quiet place and get some rest.”

So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. But many who saw

them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there

ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on

them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching

them many things.

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. As

soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. They ran throughout

that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.

And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick

in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his

cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

THIS WEEK AT WARNER

GUEST PREACHER – BRYCE WIEBE Bryce Wiebe serves as the Director of Special Offerings for the Presbyterian Church (USA). In this work, he seeks to connect Presbyterians to the impact of our shared mission and inspire their participation. Prior to this, he worked with the Presbyterian Hunger Program, providing resources and opportunities for Christians to consider the ways they spend money as an opportunity for Christian discipleship. Before coming to Louisville, Bryce served as Christian Educator at First Presbyterian Church in New Haven, Connecticut, where he wrote children’s plays, developed educational materials, created worship experiences, and led Bible studies that engaged issues of economic justice. Bryce holds an MDiv from Yale Divinity School and BA degrees in Music and Business Administration from Hastings College and he retains part-ownership of a small, sourdough bread bakery in Nebraska. When not working, you can find him in the kitchen or at the gym, where he explores God’s many forms of nourishment.

TWO CENTS A MEAL Today is the third Sunday of the month when we traditionally collect our Two Cents A Meal offering to address hunger needs in our local community. Warner's offering for June and July will go to the Capital Area Food Bank, which makes a special effort to feed kids in the summer when regular school meal programs are closed. Please consider helping us refill our virtual little red wagon so we can continue this important ministry in the months ahead. You may send a traditional check to Warner with Two Cents A Meal in the memo line, or you can give electronically to our Special Gift Fund and put "Two Cents A Meal" into the Notes. Thank You!

CALLING ALL WARNER WORK DAY WARRIORS Please come help spruce up our building and grounds this summer on Friday & Saturday July 30-31, and Friday & Saturday August 6-7, 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. There will be painting and prep, fence removal, organizing and cleaning, and possibly some pruning. Come for a couple hours, a day, or more, as you are able - many hands make light work, and it is always more fun to work together. Please let us know when you are coming so we can plan appropriately and put your name in the pot for lunch by using signup genius or contacting Susan Kline at 301-774-9524. Hope to see you there! We also want to provide a simple but tasty lunch to all who participate and are asking folks to sign -up to help with providing food, set-up and clean-up. We have coordinators for each day who will be contacting anyone who signs up to help with the lunch- related activities using the separate Sign-up Genius we have established. We ask that folks arrive around 10:30AM for set-up or to drop off food. Lunch is planned for noon with clean-up proceeding afterwards. Please consider how you can help to support this effort. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Burns or the coordinator for the date(s) you may be able to help. Thanks in advance for your help!

SHEPHERD’S GARDEN On Saturday mornings 10:30-12:00, the harvest of the Shepherd’s Garden is made available to the community in exchange for a donation to Shepherd’s Table. This allows the cooks to buy what they need, when they need it, in addition to serving the harvest we bring. Come to the sanctuary patio to choose your vegetables & herbs and leave a donation. Come, see what’s growing and visit the garden anytime! Every Saturday 9:00-10:30, volunteers care for the garden; please join us. If you would like to know what is likely to be harvested that day, get on the weekly ST Harvest email distribution list. Send a message to june.eakin@mac.com.
