COLLECT AND READINGS
O God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Morsel for Meditation
Through the call of Jesus people become individuals. Willy-nilly, they are compelled to decide, and that decision can only be made by themselves. It is no choice of their own that makes them individuals: it is Christ who makes them individuals by calling them. Every person is called separately, and must follow alone.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
The Cost of Discipleship
He who loves his dream of a Christian community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest, and sacrificial.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
Life Together

STEWARDSHIP TODAY
Frank McKee
Is your offering a sacrifice to God? Jesus gave himself on the cross for us. This morning, we offer ourselves in thanksgiving for Jesus Christ’s love for us. It is our sacrifice that the church here at St. Paul’s, the Diocese of Dallas and the national church can proclaim the love of Jesus Christ. One Minute Stewardship Sermons by Rev. Charles Cloughen Jr.

DOK PRAYER REQUESTS & BOX
The Daughters of the King
support your prayer needs and wishes. Each Sunday a prayer team will be available to pray with you after the Worship Service in the choir area after the 10:30 service. If you would like additional information, please see a DOK member.
They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter. You may call the church office (903-455-5030) and specify it is for the DOK intercessory prayer list. You can hand the card to a Daughter (she is always wearing her cross).
