Celebration of Worship

Sunday, February 19, 2012

8:30 am

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

- Mark’s gospel

Write down the name of one or two people that you think exemplify the attitude of service that Jesus is talking about on the line below.

During this time, ushers will pass out the friendship pads. Please sign your names and welcome those who are sitting next to you after the service.

PRESENTATION OF OUR FIRST FRUITS

Offertory: “When It’s All Been Said and Done” DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER (please stand)

Ushers will bring the offering forward as we commit our gifts to be used to further the Kingdom of God throughout our community and the world.

Next Week

The life of a disciple begins with an initial encounter with Jesus. In that encoun-ter two things happen: Jesus reveals a truth about Himself and He also reveals what is true about our lives. In this first sermon of our Waiting For Water series, you’ll explore Peter’s first encounter with Jesus. Peter moves from over-confident but discouraged fisherman, to broken, fearful sinner, to excited fol-lower of Jesus. Peter is now in a position to wait and see who Jesus is. As you begin this journey toward Easter, are you ready to position yourself to wait and learn about Jesus, yourself, and God’s call in your life? Invite your family and friends to join us for this dynamic study.

IN MEMORY OF HELEN MONROE

The family has decided to ask people to NOT send flowers, and to instead make a donation to the Monte Vista Preschool. The preschool was always near and dear to Helen's heart, and the family wants to honor that.

Please make checks payable to Monte Vista Church and write “In Memory of Helen Monroe” in the memo line.
