Creator of All That Is,
You have blessed us with the bounty of Your hands and have called us to be good stewards. Help us to understand, O Lord, that we are caretakers, not owners. We are caretakers of the earth, of resources, even of the talents and abilities you have gifted us. May we take these responsibilities to heart, being wise in our choices and generous in our actions. May we do deeds today, for others and for your creation, that will please You, O Lord. Empower us to act in Jesus name, AMEN.

The Worship Committee meeting scheduled for this evening has been canceled.
The Board will meet tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m. All Elders, Deacons, Committee Chairs and Board Officers are encouraged to attend.
Please pray for Anna Coffman and her family, Anna’s son-in-law died unexpectedly.
The scripture reading for today is Matthew 23:13-15:
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
