Please remember that we have begun our summer worship schedule. Worship each week will be at 10:00am through Start-Up Sunday after Labor Day. Fellowship time immediately follows the service and is a perfect opportunity to join friends and meet new ones while enjoying a cup of coffee and a snack.
This week's prayers for morning and evening are included below instead of the bulletin this week.
Remember to check the master calendar for news about upcoming events and updates . |

Dr. McIvor's sermon is "How Much Jesus Has Done for Us" based on Luke 8.26-39. Jesus crosses the Sea of Galilee to the gentile land of the Gerasenes. As he steps out of the boat he is met by a deranged, demon-possessed man who runs around naked and lives among the tombs. In other words, he is as tormented, outcast, and feared as one can be. Jesus orders the demons to leave the man and they enter a herd of pigs who immediately run into the lake and drown themselves. Like many who are healed by Jesus, the man wanted to follow the Lord. But Jesus told him to return home and tell others how much God did for him. How willing are we to tell others how much the Lord has done for us?

Invitation to Conversation
With the arrival of Matt Crane as our Director of Christian Education, PCIS renews its commitment to a vital and active youth ministry. One of the first steps is recruiting a larger adult leadership base for this ministry. We invite members and friends of the congregation who might be interested to learn more about becoming a middle school or high school youth leader. Matt will be sharing more information about this opportunity on Sunday. If you have questions you may contact Matt Crane at mh.crane@yahoo.com.

Sanctuary Air Conditioning
We are pleased to now have air conditioning in the sanctuary. The purpose of the A/C units is twofold: (1) to reduce temperature and humidity in the sanctuary to comfortable levels, and (2) to reduce outside noise interference by keeping the windows closed. On Sundays when moderate weather conditions do not require significant cooling, the A/C units will still operate at minimum settings, allowing the windows to remain closed. We are learning the best settings to optimize comfort levels while keeping outside noise and A/C unit fan noise to a minimum. If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact Barry Fiske at bfiske1@comcast.net or 617-733-9166.

This Week's Prayers for Morning and Evening
|
Morning
Dear God, today I will be tempted to wander away from you. By your Spirit, guide me in the ways you want me to go. I may become discouraged by my own limitations or by interactions I have with others. Direct my thoughts and words and actions so that they reflect your love, not only for me, but also for those around me. Remind me today and every day that, in Jesus Christ, I belong to you. That will be enough. Amen
Evening
Creator of day and night, as shadows lengthen let me gather my thoughts and feelings before you. Thank you for your presence today. Watch over me through the night. Be with those who are wakeful, either because they are doing their work, caring for others, or because of trouble that will not let them rest. Grant to all your peace, and the promise that your kingdom is coming as surely as the morning light. In this hope let all your people trust, giving you thanks and praise tonight, tomorrow, and forever. Amen
