CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of mercy and love, we know that at times we allow ourselves to be distracted by things

that really don’t matter all that much. We would rather pursue intellectual arguments than live

the gospel. We would rather debate our equals than defend the vulnerable. We prefer to think

about you instead of getting to know you. So help us, God. Help us to discern what does

matter to you and to the vulnerable you call us to. Help us to open up our hearts wide in love

and grace, and so be living examples of your good news. In Christ we pray.

(Silence for personal confession)

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

RESPONSIVE SONG NO. 489 “Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying” (sung twice)

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH from a Brief Statement of Faith

In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of Life. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God’s new heaven and earth, praying, “Come, Lord Jesus!”

Prayers of the Church Please pray for these concerns of our partner church in Malawi, Mtenthera CCAP:

• Food Security - The harvest has been very poor this year due to conditions of flooding and drought during the critical growing season. Many Malawians have used up their food stores which usually last until the next harvest in April/May 2016.

• Girl’s Dormitory - The roof is complete on both blocks of the dorm. Slabs are being poured and plumbing and electri-cal work will begin soon. Please pray that all construction will progress smoothly and prices of materials will remain stable.

• New Minister - A new minister, Rev. Hartley P. Zulu, has been called to Mtenthera and he accepted the call! He was installed Sunday, 11/8/15. We thank God for his arrival and want to pray that, through Rev. Zulu and his wife, Grace, the congregation there will receive faithful preaching of the truth of God’s word and pastoral leadership in

addressing the spiritual and physical needs of the community there.

• Rev. Banda—The former pastor still awaits a call to a new congregation. Please pray that he can be patient as he awaits God’s call upon his life and also that his family is provided for during this time.

◊ Please Pray for our Kids Hope Program—members of FPCP are providing mentoring to 20 students at Bird

Elementary School in Plymouth, through the Kids Hope Program USA. We praise God and pray for the program director, Cindy Blanchard-Kronig, and the 20 mentors. Please pray that the children involved with the program feel the loving connection of their mentors, their families and other caring people in their lives.

Mark your calendars, sign-up, donate blood and help save a life. The Winter FPCP 2016 Blood Drive is scheduled for the morning of

Sunday February 7th, 2016 (8:00 AM - 1:45 PM)

You can sign up online at www.redcrossblood.org sponsor code = fpcp, or by calling 313-549-7052. New this year! Blood donors can now read the book and answer the required health history questions THE DAY OF THE BLOOD DRIVE on-line. Go to www.redcrossblood.org/rapidpass. Please sign up to help support this critical need… Blood Facts

∗ Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. ∗ Approximately 41,000 blood donations are needed every day. ∗ Nearly 21 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. ∗ The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately 3 pints. ∗ The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O. ∗ The blood used in an emergency is already on the shelves before the event occurs. ∗ It is estimated that sickle cell disease affects 90,000 to 100,000 people in the U.S. About 1,000 babies are born with the disease each year. Sickle cell patients can require frequent blood transfusions throughout their lives. ∗ More than 1.6 million people were expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Many of them

will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment. ∗ A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.

Salvation Army “Keep it Clean” Drive During the month of February, the Deacons are collecting dental and general hygiene items for the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army has identified items needed and packaging suggestions in order to serve as many people as possible. Please see our display in the lower narthex and consider helping this worthy cause.

If you have questions, please contact Tom Ford at [email protected] or (313) 319-4790.

FPCP is working more closely with our Presbytery and its program for foster children. Our

prayer ministry can help by praying for a special child in foster care. This month we are praying

for 17 year old Justice. This helpful, caring and friendly young man likes the outdoors and lists

playing outside and riding bikes among his favorite activities. On his list of after-school activi-

ties, Justice includes playing catch and baseball, and mowing grass. When the dinner bell rings,

Justice comes running and says there are “no foods I don’t like.” More information on Justice

and other children looking for a forever family is available at http://www.mare.org.

This month we are also praying for ALL the children. YOU CAN HELP MICHIGAN'S 13,000 CHILDREN IN

FOSTER CARE. How? See pictures of our kids awaiting forever families at www.mare.org . Pray for one or two of

them on a regular basis. Is God nudging you to find out more about foster parenting, adopting, mentoring or giving

respite care? Talk with experienced foster and adoptive parents who can provide answers. Contact the Foster Care

Navigator Program at 1.855.MICHKIDS

We hope you will join us as we begin this new ministry outreach!

[email protected] Two floral arrangements are donated to the sanctuary worship services each week; the florist currently charges $25 for each bouquet of seasonal flowers. Thank you! Nancy White

Something for your sweetheart…

~ Good Coffee for a Good Cause ~

The Presbyterian Coffee Project offers a special link between congregations and communities around the world. Churches can now reach out to neighbors overseas not only with the prayers and offerings we give, but with the goods and products we purchase. A warm cup of coffee (or tea) in our hands is perhaps the most tangible daily connection we have with farmers around the world. It represents warmth, hospitality, fellowship, hard work and life’s pleasures both fine and simple. Buy-ing fair trade through the Presbyterian Coffee Project ensures that more of the money we spend on coffee reaches the hardworking farmers who actually grow it. You will have the opportunity to purchase this coffee and tea February 7 between and after services. We have a variety of coffees and teas to choose from including decaf, ground and whole bean.

Also on this day we will be selling Fair Trade Chocolate Hearts. A great Valentine’s gift for that special someone.
