ALL: Let us worship God!

Almighty God, we confess that we live as if we were in charge. We worry as if the world depends on us and we try to control everything. We treat your creation as something that is ours to use up. We forget that every person we meet was made by you. Forgive us for these things. Teach us to rest in your power and trust your care, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hear us now as we silently confess our sins to you...

APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Psalm 103:13-18
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. 15 The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; 16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. 17 But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— 18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

Flooding & Facility Update
Due to the recent flooding, areas west of the Sanctuary are unavailable until further notice. As we assess the damage and determine next steps, several other rooms throughout the church have been repurposed for offices, finance, and other ministry needs.
For now, additional room scheduling is on hold as we work to make the best use of the spaces available.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we navigate this together.
SAFETY NOTICE
Due to safety concerns related to the flooding, no one is permitted in any area west of the Sanctuary beyond the stairwell/elevator until further notice. Please do not enter these areas unless specifically authorized.Access to the Sanctuary is available through the main Sanctuary doors or through the Adam Lamb Preschool entrance.
Thank you for respecting these restrictions as cleanup and assessment continue.
