Scripture Readings
Psalm 104:1-2a, 14-15, 24, 30-31 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
wrapped in light as with a garment.
You cause the grass to grow for the cattle
and plants for people to cultivate,
to bring forth food from the earth
and wine to gladden the human heart,
oil to make the face shine
and bread to strengthen the human heart.
O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works.
Matthew 6:9-13 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)
Pray, then, in this way:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be revered as holy.
10 May your kingdom come.
May your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not bring us to the time of trial,
but rescue us from the evil one.
Sermon (Gale Watkins, Pastor)
Affirmation of Faith (from the Presbyterian Church Study Catechism)
What is meant by the fourth petition, "Give us today our daily
bread"?
We ask God to provide for all our needs,
for we know that God, who cares for us in every area of our life,
has promised us temporal as well as spiritual blessings.
God commands us to pray each day for all that we need and no more,
so that we will learn to rely completely on God.
We pray that we will use what we are given wisely,
remembering especially the poor and the needy.
Along with every living creature we look to God, the source of all generosity,
to bless us and nourish us, according to the divine good pleasure.
Hymn: “Let All Who Pray the Prayer Christ Taught” (Presbyterian Hymnal #349), sung to the tune “St. Anne” (“Our God, Our Help in Ages Past”)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;

Prayer (from James G. Kirk, When We Gather)
There are those who would be glad with the crumbs from your table, O God;
We have received your gifts in abundance.
Make us mindful of those who are needy, as we bring your our tithes and our offerings.
Use them to ease the pain of those who are suffering.
As we serve others, use us to fulfill your will.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; Amen.
Hymn: “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” (Presbyterian Hymnal #403)
