St Paul's United Church of Christ, Sacramento

Friends, Blessings on this Second Sunday in the Season of Advent. Today we consider God's promise of peace, especially in the context of all our current sources of stress. Also, this is a Communion service, so please make sure you have your elements ready (bread or cracker, and wine or grape juice, ideally) as you join us in our virtual worship service. Today's bulletin is attached....

The Advent journey: Hope becomes Peace. Peace becomes Joy Joy becomes Love. Love becomes Chri

Friends, Blessings to you and your family on this Lord's Day. Today we consider what it means to be "ready" and "prepared" for God - in more ways than you might think.... This Sunday afternoon at 2pm, we will have the opportunity to watch the movie, "Do You Believe?" at Salem UCC. Please join us for this inspiring movie. And please, don't forget to work on the Chrismons (does anyone need more; or need some delivered or picked up?), so we can use them to decorate our sanctuary Christmas tree when Advent starts later this month. Today's bulletin is attached. Peace and Blessings, Pastor Ray ***** NOVEMBER 8, 2020 - SUNDAY DEVOTIONAL Please enjoy a special video from Newsboys, "We Believe": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5CVN-dpvbQ And here is the link to today's devotional: https://youtu.be/Y6Y3vAfURxU

Never repay anyone evil for evil...Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written..., ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord...Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17, 19, 21).

Thank you God Amen

Closing Thought:

So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up. Romans 14:19 NLT #VerseOfTheDay #Scripture

Today’s Word:

Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.... But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:14-15 #NIV #NIVBible
