All: Mighty Creator, all of creation is a tapestry proclaiming your love and

mercy, and yet your heart feels every loss we experience; you cry at every

word that wounds one of your precious children. We bring gifts to you this

morning, not as restitution for past mercies or prepayment for future favor,

but as a celebration of your love and care for us and all creation. Dedicate

these gifts that they might bring love and compassion, that they might help

heal your creation, and help us more resemble the people you desire us to

be. In Christ, we pray. Amen.

Prayer Chain – For years PHUMC has had a prayer chain that has helped with prayer requests

within the congregation. This is a ministry of the life of our congregation. Committing one’s time

to pray for the burdens, concerns, and also the joys of our sisters and brothers in Christ is an

important piece of helping others feel wanted. We are looking for a few more volunteers for our

Prayer Chain. This is also a great way to learn about the needs and concerns of people who do not

have internet access, and who rely on a phone call as their main means of staying in touch. If you

are interested or would like more information please contact Mary Schramm at 410-256-6479

with your info.

Sunday School news - The teen class is doing a gift drive for BARCS (The Baltimore Animal

Rescue and Care Shelter) from now till the end of October. Everyone is welcome to help us out.

We are looking for anything a cat or dog may need. Suggested items include food, toys, litter

boxes, litter, leashes, and collars. Donations can be left in the Narthex or in the Middle School/

High School class. Thank you for your help, Rachael Desfosses.

Baltimore Washington Conference is trying something new.
