Songbook Lao Tzu # 17 Joseph Petulla Translation followed by 5 minutes of
silence We help people best When they don’t realize they
are being helped. Rather than acting to show
ourselves off Or to induce return favor or
gratitude, We need to cultivate a deep
respect for others, With the same kind of love
we need ourselves. In helping others it is
better not to say much, So when we act generously, People feel ennobled, not
degraded Welcome &

and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my
prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership
in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that
he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of
Christ Jesus. It
is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my
heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all
of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the
affection of Christ Jesus. And
this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and
depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that
comes through Jesus Christ–to the glory and praise of God. Sermon by Linda Warner Special
Performance by Kent Eklund Circle with
Joys & Concerns & sharing of bread & juice brought by Brita

Singing of Amazing Grace Amazing
grace, how sweet the sound that saves a wretch (soul) like me. I
once was lost but now I'm found, was bound but now I'm free. 'Twas
grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fear relieved. How
precious did that grace appear, the hour I fist believed? Through
many dangers, toils, and snares we have already come. 'Twas
grace that brought us safe thus far and grace will lead us on. When
we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun; we've
no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun Thanks to: Carla Irwin Kathy Mapes for
