Movin' on Up

Sunday was our annual time to remind ourselves of the blessing of children in our church family and make "prayer apples" available to our members (each with a child's name) to encourage praying for them throughout the school year. Kyle preached and did a great job. Here's what the morning looked like:

O Worship the King
At the Name of Jesus
Welcome and Family News
Ah, Lord God
I Will Call Upon the Lord
As the Deer
Prayer
Jesus Loves Me
Jesus Loves the Little Children
Scandalous Love
(Michele reads names of birth-K kids, Kyle prays, Kyle talks)
You Are My All in All
Concepts and Habits
(Michele reads names of gr 1-5 kids, Kyle prays, Kyle talks)
Tithes and Offerings: Our Gifts to God
Thank You, Lord
Symbols and Fruits
(Michele reads names of MS & HS kids, Kyle prays, Kyle talks)
Communion: Our Family Meal
When We Meet in Sweet Communion
A Common Love
Blest Be the Tie

Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying
Prayer Apples for Our Children and Teachers
Shepherd’s Blessing

And... in light of Jesus' invitation for us to become more like kids, I thought this quote from Heartlight fit as well.

"Humility is the Christian's greatest honor; the higher men climb, the farther they are from heaven." - Burder
