Almighty and everliving God, increase in us your gift of faith, that

Eternal God, your word inspires our faith. May we who offer you our praise trust you in all things. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

God of peace, you have nourished us in this sacrament with the body and blood of Christ. May we who have taken holy things keep faith in our hearts and lives, in the name of Jesus
Christ the Lord. Amen.

Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear;
Things I would as him to tell me if he were here;
Scenes by the wayside, Tales of the sea,
Stories of Jesus, Tell them to me.

Food is available to all people at all times.
GUATEMALA: Ana Ramos and her family used to have a diet of instant soup and canned beans. After participating in “Peasant to Peasant” farmer training, the family now grows its own food and have some fresh produce AVAILABLE every day.

Dear Friends,
I extend a warm welcome to our services this morning and give thanks that you are worshipping with us this morning. This morning in Godly Play our children will hear the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) told by Reverend Lisa. Parables are the closest thing we have to the actual words of Jesus. The phrase and concept of The Good Samaritan may be familiar but you might want to check the scripture to get the story straight. Today the children will hear the story and wonder together why a man whose people (the Samaritans) was part of a culture with a great deal of distrust and enmity towards the Jews (who felt the same about the Samaritans) would stop and help (and really care with his time, money, and concern) when a priest and Levite (both thought to be devout Jews) crossed to the other side of the road and passed by. They will spend a significant time wondering how the story might have changed if the hurt person or the helper had been a woman or a child. Who are the Samaritans to your family? Who does your family 'Samaritan' to? Ask your children their thoughts before you offer yours. I bet there will be some surprises
Every Blessing
