Scripture for the Month
Psalm 25:1-10
By David - A Prayer for Guidance and Help
1 I offer you my heart, Lord God, 2 and I trust you. Don’t make me ashamed or let enemies defeat me. 3 Don’t disappoint any of your worshipers, but disappoint all deceitful liars. 4 Show me your paths and teach me to follow; 5 guide me by your truth and instruct me. You keep me safe, and I always trust you. 6 Please, Lord, remember, you have always been patient and kind. 7 Forget each wrong I did when I was young. Show how truly kind you are and remember me. 8 You are honest and merciful, and you teach sinners how to follow your path. 9 You lead humble people to do what is right and to stay on your path. 10 In everything you do, you are kind and faithful to everyone who keeps our agreement with you.
Hymn of the Month
“O Come, O Come Emmanuel”
1. O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.
2. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free. Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory o'er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Meditational Moments with
Rev. Nancy Hazzard
December 12
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.—Psalm 94:19
I GREET THIS DAY WITH JOY
My intention is to choose joy and live from that joy all through the day. This day is a blessing because I know I am a child of God.
I remember—and begin to sing—a song that makes me smile. I take time to observe the joy in children, and their carefree attitude inspires me to become childlike. Later, I may want to enjoy some live entertainment that makes me laugh and feel happy. I welcome all opportunities to express my joy.
I bring renewed harmony to my relationships and make new friends easily, knowing that my positive attitude may be an uplifting influence for those I meet in my travels today. I know the more I share joy with others, the more joy will fill my mind, heart, and soul.
Masks and Social Distancing are required for all in person services & events:
