Announcements and Greeting-
1 Timothy 1
15Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.16But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
*Opening Hymn 165 Hallelujah! What a Savior
CALL TO WORSHIP
Here, in this place,
God welcomesall the dreamers, as well as the doubters:
here, the worriers and wandererscan call on God by name.
Here, in this time, we can rememberall the ways God has graced us:
here, in these moments, we are remindedthat God is with us, always!
Here are gathered those daring enoughto step out of comfort into the unknown:
here, in this faith space, we will find the courage to cry out,
'God, save us!'
in every situation.
*Gloria Patri

Isaiah 45:21-23
21Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.
22“Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
23By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.

John 4 Many Samaritans Believe
39Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41And because of his words many more became believers.
42They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

"Jesus Christ, God'sSon, Savior"
Romans 10:8-10
8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[a] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Thanksgiving Over the Oil
O God, the giver of health and salvation, we give thanks to you for the gift of oil. As your holy apostles anointed many who were sick and healed them, so pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on this gift, that those who in faith and repentance receive this anointing may be made whole; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
May the Power of God’s indwelling presence heal you of all illnesses-of body, mind, spirit and relationships – that you may serve God with a loving heart. Amen.
