Important Message
Regarding our response to COVID-19

At this time ... as of 3/27/20
​
We will not be meeting on Sunday mornings for our normal 10:30am worship services (indefinitely) or any other type of gathering. We will continue to monitor the situation and do our best to follow the recommendation of our government and health professionals. Check out our communication page for ideas about how to "be" the church while we can't be together. 

Ideas include:
- Home worship services (see below for an order of service)
- Pray (regularly)
- Call others within the congregation
- Reach out to neighbors (phone, social media, etc)

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, my refuge and my fortress my God, in whom I trust!
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge;
​His faithfulness is a shield and a bulwark."
Psalm 91:1-4 (NASB)

Worship With Us!

Opening Prayer

from Pastor Justin

Father,
What a gracious God You are.  Help us today as we take the time to declare Your goodness to see You for who You actually are. Guide our thoughts according to Your Word. May our desire be as the Psalmist, to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives. May we gaze on Your beauty! O Lord, help us to wait on You in a day that we look for instant gratification in nearly everything. Teach us the discipline of seeking You and waiting for You. 

We ask for Your grace to endure this trying time. Please heal the sick, protect those that are well, and comfort those who have lost loved ones. Help us to see that death is a reality that we all face; may we rest in the truth (Your Word) and in your abundant lovingkindness! Father God, draw people to Your Son, Jesus. Humble hearts so that Your salvation would be gladly received by many. 

We pray that You would lead our leaders by Your wisdom. Regardless of how we perceive their leadership, would you help us to be faithful citizens. We pray for those that are daily exposed to this virus that they would be preserved and strengthened by Your unlimited might. We pray that those near death would experience miraculous healing that they might give glory to You and taste of Your salvation. We pray for our pastors that You would lead them in shepherding Your people, the church. We pray for our church to be strengthened in this time rather than weakened. May we gain ground for Your kingdom. 

Lord God Almighty, be glorified today in me, my family, and in Your church. Lead us. May we follow faithfully. Grant us patience and joy by Your Spirit as we worship You from our homes. Cause healthy growth in us spiritually. Thank You for lavishing grace after grace upon us! 

We pray in the name of Jesus, 
Amen

Scripture Reading
Isaiah 11:1-9 (CSB)

1 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, 
and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. 
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him --
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, 
a Spirit of counsel and strength, 
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. 
3 His delight will be in the fear of the Lord. 
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, 
he will not execute justice by what he hears with his ears, 
4 but he will judge the poor righteously  
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land. 
He will strike the land with a scepter from his mouth, 
and he will kill the wicked with a command from his lips. 
5 Righteousness will be a belt around his hips; 
faithfulness will be a belt around his waist. 
6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb, 
and the leopard will lie down with the goat. 
The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf will be together, 
and a child will lead them. 
7 The cow and the bear will graze, 
their young ones will lie down together, 
and the lion will eat straw like cattle. 
8 An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit, 
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den. 
9 They will not harm or destroy each other 
on my entire holy mountain, 
for the land will be as full 
of the knowledge of the Lord 
as the sea is filled with water.

Benediction

​17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Every dollar given is an act of worship to God. Giving is an expression of trust and confidence in God's provision for each person. We use these donations to keep the ministry going through our local congregation in Burlington (yes, even now while we can't meet).
