Announcements and Pastoral Prayer

Covid 19 Worship Precautions

  1. We will be worshiping in the Fellowship Hall so we can social distance.
  2. We have the chairs measured out to maintain social distancing, please do not move them. We have chairs in pairs and singles.
  3. We will be wearing masks in the sanctuary. If you have one please bring it. If not we will provide one.
  4. I know we are a close knit community of believers, but for the time being, please refrain from handshaking and hugging.
  5. I know these rules may seem restrictive, but we feel they are important steps to take, so that we can return to a more normal form of worship sooner and to protect the health of the people we love.

Scripture Reading

Matthew 9:9-13

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Luke 5:33-39

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? 35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.”

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
