Hymn      Shall We Gather at the River #710VU

Scripture Lessons:       II Kings 5:1-14

                                     Psalm 30

                                     Luke 10:1-11, 17-20

Message

Prayer:  We join together in prayer for the stillness that renews, and for the striving that drives us onward; for the resting in grace, by a lake with a book, and the blessed unrest that fashions new futures; for the deep peace of being here and now, and the wrestling with what’s past for the sake of tomorrow. 

               We give thanks that the whole of it is held together by the one we call the Christ, that the peace and the struggle of our lives is not in vain, but is an offering of love to this unfolding story of the universe that we are telling with our lives. Amen. ( a prayer written by Bruce Sanguine, printed in If Darwin Prayed)

Hymn       In Christ There is no East or West #606VU

This Sunday Ormstown will be having its usual 9:30 service in the church. In Howick we are hoping to hold the annual Outdoor service at 11am at the church. We are hoping it will be dry enough and not too hot so we can gather near the river beside the church. If it is looking promising, please bring your own lawn chair (and sun hat and sunscreen) if you can. 

Howick United Church’s Stewards will meet at 7pm on Monday, July 14th in the church hall. 

There will be no Stewards meeting in Ormstown this month.
