Sermon Text: Psalm 90:1-6, 13-17 NRSV
Sermon Title: "Your Dwelling Place"
|
|
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn us back to dust,
and say, “Turn back, you mortals.”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning;
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
13 Turn, O Lord! How long?
Have compassion on your servants!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us,
and as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be manifest to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands!

Prelude God is so Good arr. by James Biery (Rejoice Ringers)
Opening 285 How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place,
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so your temple calls us
within its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
the ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow.
Special Music Breathe by Michael W. Smith
Closing 458, vs.1+2 Ours the Journey
1 In the midst of new dimensions, in the face of changing ways,
Who will lead the pilgrim peoples wandering in their separate ways?
2 Through the flood of starving people, warring factions and despair,
Who will lift the olive branches? Who will light the flame of care?
Refrain:
God of rainbow, fiery pillar, leading where the eagles soar,
We your people, ours the journey now and ever, now and ever, now and evermore.
Postlude O God, Our Help in Ages Past arr. by Rick Parks

Please find the prayer list below, and sincerely send prayers up
for ALL of God's creation.
Prayer is a weapon that has divine power to demolish strongholds.
4 "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
2 Corinthians 10: 4-5

The Call to Action for Racial Equity and Justice for All! |
|
Christian Church in NC: A Resilient Church with Liberating Unity!
Goal: To be the effective witness that Christ empowered us to be in dismantling systemic racism, creating equity, and advocating for reconciliation.
While we acknowledge those who have already begun conversations
around systemic racism and justice,
we want to encourage the 'next step' actions beyond conversations.
To aid in this quest for human liberation and justice,
the Anti-Racism and Pro-Reconciliation Commission (ARPR) will engage the Christian Church in NC as follows:
What's Next, Church?
After the World Communion Service, ARPR will evaluate and determine what's next as the region continues the work of becoming ONE body of Christ.
This is a movement, not a moment!

The shelter has a year-round list of needs that are always appreciated!
They especially have shortages of men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and socks. Food items are canned meats and #10 size canned fruits, vegetables and applesauce. Please drop your donations off under the shelter,
next to FCC's parking lot, at the set of double doors with a mailbox.

Hi, First Christian Family!
When the calendar turns to October, we automatically think of apples.
Doctors say they are good for us plus they taste good, too!
Crisis Control Ministry is thinking about them as well. The food item for the month of October is APPLESAUCE in PLASTIC CONTAINERS. This is a rather simple request, and it can be obtained at most stores that sell food. We are asked to purchase the ones in plastic containers because of possible breakage. You have been so kind this year in spite of the limitations the Pandemic has caused.
Ron always has a “trunk full” every time he delivers your purchases to Crisis Control and the Samaritan Inn. When I go with him to deliver, the volunteer asks where we are from. I am always proud to say “First Christian Church on Country Club.” The volunteer shakes their head and smiles in recognition because they know our church helps to put food on the tables of so many who can’t.
If you bring your donations by the church through the week, someone is usually in the office. Sunday mornings are great too. You can place your items where the display is inside at the front of the Sanctuary.
