Prayer Concerns—You may request prayer by filling out a prayer card
(located in the pew rack-Sanctuary) or on the orange card in The Connection
and place the card in the offering plate. Our prayer team and staff will pray for
these concerns.
Welcome! Thank you for choosing to worship with us. We trust you will find a
warm greeting and the Spirit of God as we gather today. While we expect the
attendance of all our members, we are always glad to welcome guests. Please let
us know if there are ways in which we can be of service to you.
Visit the FUMC Harvest Table for Missions! We welcome your home
grown fruit & vegetables (and eggs!) to our table for others to purchase (for a
donation). Everyone is invited to participate! The table is located in the
hallway (main floor) near the elevator. All donations benefit local mission
projects.

The 2016 Stewardship Campaign will feel different this year . It will be
more personal. In early October you will receive your Stewardship Packet at
your home hand-delivered. The delivery person will not come in but simply
hand it to you personally at your door. Christ is always working with people in
a personal way. It is also good for our church. Plus, this will save the church
hundreds of dollars in postage. Please make your stewardship decisions in the
privacy of your home and place your commitments into a SEALED envelope to
be picked up by your delivery person at a mutually agreed time and returned to
Donna Brewster’s office for you. This will be both Personal and Confidential!
If you currently do not receive our eNews, please give us your email address
on The Connection card or friendship register.

We welcome, John Brock,
as our guest organist this
morning for the month of
September.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.

God is My Strong Salvation

Anthem (10:30am) Lloyd Pfautsch
Sermon Chuck Starks
God is my strong salvation: What foe have I to fear? In darkness and
temptation, My light, my help is near. Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm in the fight I stand; What terror can confound me, With God at my
right hand? Place on the Lord reliance; My soul with courage wait; His
truth be thine affiance, When faint and desolate. His might thy heart shall
strengthen, His love thy joy increase; Mercy thy days shall lengthen; The
Lord will give the peace.

The Ten Commandments from The Message *
God spoke all these words:
I am God, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a
life of slavery.
No other gods, only me. No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of
anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don't bow
down to them and don't serve them because I am God, your God, and I'm
a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass
on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those
who hate me. But I'm unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me
and keep my commandments. No using the name of God, your God, in
curses or silly banter; God won't put up with the irreverent use of his
name. Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do
everything you need to do.
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don't do any work -
not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your
maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town.
For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in
them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath
day; he set it apart as a holy day. Honor your father and mother so that
you'll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you. No
murder. No adultery. No stealing. No lies about your neighbor. No
lusting after your neighbor's house - or wife or servant or maid or ox or
donkey. Don't set your heart on anything that is your neighbor's.
Gregg Harrell
Love the Lord Your God
