An Encounter with Christ - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

No other way to describe this
the moment we come to believe
an encounter with the risen Christ
often bringing us to our knees

Like Paul on the road
traveling with a purpose
stopped dead in his tracks
turning completely around

Christ calling to each of us
to turn from our earthly path
to yoke ourselves to him
and travel the way of the cross

Galatians 1:11-24
1 Kings 17:8-16
Psalm 146:1-5 (Call to Worship)
Prayer of Dedication:
“Abundant God, we thank you for the jars of our lives
that are constantly being filled. We offer our gifts to you,
that others may know of your abundance and grace.
Fill the hungry with good things. Lift up the oppressed.
Watch over the stranger and comfort the lonely.
Through our gifts, may we do likewise.
In the name of Christ the Comforter, we pray. Amen”
Worship Theme: “How do our lives attract or detract people”
