GATHERING: All are welcome in this space as we enjoy God’s creation and find renewal.
SONGS OF PRAISE:
OPENING PRAYER: Living God, be present with us and help us to learn from you. May we love you with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love one another in the way that Jesus loves us. Amen.
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11: 16-19, 25-30
"But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon'; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."
At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
MESSAGE & PRAYER: “Come to Me” Pastor Juliann
HOLY COMMUNION: All are Welcome to Receive the Sacrament. Christ meets us in love.
