Worship Service for 8/23/2020

GREETING
From the heart of our Lord and with the voices of members, families, and friends of Eastminster, thank you for tuning in today to become part of Christ’s church as we worship together today.  Our prayer is that as you listen and participate, you will feel that you belong as part of the family of God.  A God who has a purpose for each of our lives and has, by the Holy Spirit, blessed us with gifts to fulfill that purpose.  May what you hear, feel, see, and do this morning be a reminder that the Lord is with you, in this and every place.  So, welcome!

PRAYERS
  • We give thanksgiving to God for the release of Sylvia Falcon from the hospital into rehabilitation and continue praying for her healing, strength, and full recovery.
  • We keep Scott Wood in our prayers. Scott is being treated for a brain tumor and awaiting a complete diagnosis.  Scott is the father of our neighbor and friend, Daniel Wood.  We also hold Daniel’s mother, Susan, in prayer also as all wait for answers.   
  • For our teachers, students, parents, administrators beginning the journey into this year’s educational experience, our hearts are wrapped around them in prayer.
  • For all persons across our nation feeling the effects of mother nature, particularly as we enter hurricane and fire season. 
  • For our country and world, we pray, for solutions that bring unity, not divisiveness, for conversations that bring healing, not hurt, for hearts open to peace, not hate.
  •  For Eastminster, our sister churches, for Christ’s church across the world, and for all, we need to know the healing love and grace of God. 
 
PSALM OF PRAISE (Psalm 124)
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Our joy comes from the heart of God, who transforms us into open-handed givers of hope.  Blessed be the Lord our God!
