SONGS OF PRAISE:
OPENING PRAYER:
Gracious God, you have called us from different walks of life and knit us into one family of faith. We pray that we may learn to accept those whose ways are different from our own. As we open our hearts to you, show us the way to open our hearts to others. In your presence may we worship together without exclusion and rejoice together without ceasing. Amen.
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 15: 21-28
15:21 Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
15:22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon."
15:23 But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, "Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us."
15:24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
15:25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."
15:26 He answered, "It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."
15:27 She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
15:28 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that moment.
MESSAGE & PRAYER: All Good Dogs Pastor Juliann
