First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Contemporary Worship Service Third Sunday after Pentecost July 3, 2011 11:10am
The Congregation Gathers As worship begins, we enter through song and the sharing of Christs peace. Sharing of the Word As a part our service today, we will share stories and read scripture. Todays message is from Owen Cayton, Freedom and the Encumbered Will based on Romans 7:13-25a and Matt 11: 16-19, 25, 25-30. Joys, Concerns and Pastoral Prayer Gods heart is always open to Gods people and so we are called together to lift celebrations and concerns in prayer. God joins us in our deepest moments of pain and our greatest moments of joyand everything in between. We take this time to pray for ourselves, the church and the world in word and song. Sharing of Ourselves and God in Thanksgiving At the table of God we offer ourselves and the work of our hands in service to God and the church in the world. In thanksgiving, we bring financial gifts as well as gifts of time and energy and sometimes other gifts like food for the food pantry. We also bring bread and cup to place on the table. Communion is observed weekly. This is Christs table and all believers in Him are invited to partake. If you wish to participate, please come forward at the invitation to the table. Communion is served by intinction (dipping your bread in the chalice).

Feel free to use this space to reflect on worship.

It is the desire of our elders to be available for spiritual care. If you have a need with which the elders may be of assistance, please complete this card, tear it out, and place it in the provided box in the Narthex.

The Congregation Scatters to Serve At the closing of worship, all are invited to commit or recommit ourselves to following Jesus. We are sent forth into the world in song charged to be disciples in our daily lives.
Childrens Worship: Children will begin worship in the Sanctuary. After the scripture reading, the children will dismiss to the Youth Room for Childrens Worship. They will watch bible story videos and have a snack. Then they will return to the Sanctuary before communion. Nursery: Children are always welcome in the service. We do provide a nursery for newborn - 3 years old for anyone who prefers to take their little ones there.
