Capital Campaign Prayer:                  Mary Meckenstock       

Leader:  Heavenly Father, may the work we do in this Capital Campaign become

 a living testimony of your faithfulness, inspiring those who will come after us to continue the mission.  Let this be more than a project, for it is an act of worship, 

a declaration of trust, and a legacy of love for Your Kingdom.   

Response:  Grant us clarity of vision so that our plans align with your will.  Give wisdom to our leaders, courage to our members, and unity to our church

family.  Let every meeting, every conversation, and every decision be guided

by your Spirit and may your name be glorified.  In Christ’s holy name.  Amen.

Scripture               John 12:12-16                           Mary Meckenstock

The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” ”Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.

Sermon     Returning to the Heart of Christ:  Living in Covenant                                                 Matt Dumler, Director of Discipleship

Faithful Stewardship       Deuteronomy 15:10        Mary Meckenstock

“Give generously and do so without a grudging heart; because then the

Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put

your hand to.”            

Congregational Prayer:  “Generous Father, you call us to give freely, 

not reluctantly or grudgingly, and you promise blessing when we do.

Teach us to open our hands and hearts to those in need, to give with

joy, not hesitation.  May our generosity flow from trust in Your good-

ness, and may our giving reflect Your love.  Bless the work of our

hands, as we seek to be a blessing to others.  Amen.”
