Worship Service for 9/6/2020
WELCOME
As we offer our thanksgiving to God, we are called to bring our full selves: our simplicity, our complexity, our joy, our sadness, our vigilance, our apathy, our hopes, and our fears. And in the midst of our own stories, we come to be found in God’s story: a God who welcomes and loves us all beyond measure. We worship as invited ones, as beloved ones, as blessed ones. We worship as individuals, yet God unites us as one. In in the name of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, welcome to Eastminster Presbyterian Church in Dallas!
If you view this video prior to 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, the 6th, it is with joy, we invite you to come share communion with us from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the church located at 6550 Samuell Boulevard. All persons serving communion and helping in other ways will be wearing masks and gloves, and the communion elements are factory sealed. For those worshiping at any other time, we invite you to commune with us from your own homes. Remember always, wherever we are, the Lord is.
As we are called to be Christ to one another, we are also called to pray with and for each other.
*Continuing prayer for Tom and Sylvia Falcon. Prayers for Tom as he seeks strength and wisdom to make the best decisions for Sylvia, and prayers for Sylvia as she continues to improve in rehab, and looks to the day she can return home.
*Prayers for Janet Muller as she continues her work as a nurse, even with back pain. We ask extra prayers on September 18 as Janet receives a procedure on her back.

We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Come, let us praise God together! Sing a new song—a song of God’s goodness and mercy, faithfulness and love. For God delights in His people, crowning them with honor and glory! Let’s worship together.
