Resources from Sunday Worship

If you would like to revisit or reflect upon any of the elements from Sunday's Worship, here are some resources:

  • Memorial Day Prayer: O God, keep our whole country under your protection. Wipe out sin from this land; lift it up from the depth of sorrow, O Lord, our shining light. Save us from deep grief and misfortune, Lord of all nations. Bless us with your wisdom, so that the poor may not be oppressed and the rich may not be oppressors. Make this a nation having no ruler except God, a nation having no authority but that of Love. Amen.
  • Scripture Reading was from various sections of Isaiah 43, but mostly verses 16-19.
  • Sermon Notes:
    • Sometimes inner transitions/transformations are the most important kind and are needed on almost a daily basis.
    • Ex. worth issues, finding forgiveness, new attitutdes and learnings in one's heart
      and mind
    • Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." [Luke 17: 20,21]
  • Movie Clips: Clips shown this week were from "Napoleon Dynamite" and a short video called "ONE DAY (Memorial Day)"
