GATHERING GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS CENTERING WORD

Let us prepare for the Spirit’s light to enter our midst. As it enters, it changes what was ordinary into extraordinary, what was everyday into sacred. Let us

welcome the Spirit into our midst. PRELUDE 8:30 “Bread of Life” – Edward Broughton 10:00 “Be Known To Us In Breaking Bread” – Garrett Parker * CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 123:1-2

Pastor: ִבי, ַבָשָמִים. --ֵעיַני-ֵאֶליָך, ָנָשאִתי ֶאת שְׁ ַהיֹּ Liturgist: To you I lift up my eyes,

O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

Pastor: ἰδοὺ ὡς ὀφθαλμοὶ δούλων εἰς χεῗρας τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν

ὡς ὀφθαλμοὶ παιδίσκης εἰς χεῗρας τῆς κυρίας αὐτῆς Liturgist: As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, All: so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

until he has mercy upon us.

* OPENING HYMN # 73 “O Worship the King”

OPENING PRAYER – John Baillie We pray, O God, for all human hearts that today are lifted up to

you in earnest desire, and for every group that is met together to praise and magnify your name and partake of your feast. Whatever their style of worship, be graciously pleased to accept their prayer and praise and lead them to life eternal. Amen.

We’re glad you’re with us today. Our goal here at Lake Street is to welcome all people in Christ’s love, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race, ability, or anything else that divides people.

Worship Aids

Bulletins are available from ushers at both entrances. The readings and prayers are printed there, but will also be projected on screens. Large print bulletins and pictorial bulletins for non-readers are also available.

Hearing devices tied to the sound system are available at the Lake Street door. Just ask an usher for help.

Children and Families

Parents are welcome to keep their children with them in worship. Don’t worry about the wiggles. At the back of the sanctuary are rockers reserved for parents of small children. For more privacy, the service is also being streamed in the library—out the side door and up the ramp. And during every service our Preschool Area is available for children up to age 5, where they can learn about God through play and ac-tivity.

A “Children’s Moment” is offered in worship, and all ages are welcome to come up. In the 10:00 service, many children will leave after the Children’s Moment for Sunday School (5th grade and younger). If you are a first time guest and would like your children to go to Sunday School, please take them down your-self the first time so the teachers can get all information necessary for your child’s safety.

Connect Card

The yellow insert in the bulletin is a way for our members to sign in, and there is also a place where you may leave contact information, if you like, so that we may welcome you more than once.

Coffee Fellowship

You are invited to a coffee fellowship after worship in the Fellowship Hall, by the parking lot doors.

Communion

We usually serve Communion on the first Sunday of the month. We use grape juice and gluten-free bread, to include everyone, and all who are seeking God, of any age, are welcome at Christ’s table.

A Welcome to Our Guests

Phone Correction for Pastor Jerry

We have found an error in our church directory, in

the entry for Jerry and Rebecca Morris. Apparently

Rebecca’s phone number was put down as the

cell number for both of us. (We had wondered

why Rebecca kept getting those calls on week-

ends to let me know that someone was in the hos-

pital.) We are able to update the online directory,

so if you are using that directory on your phone or

tablet or computer the number is now correct, but

if you are using the print directory, please change

the last two digits of my phone number from –91

to –03. — Pastor Jerry

Looking Ahead in Worship

On Sunday, November 3rd we will take a break

from the sermon series on people’s encounters

with Jesus in the Gospel of John and celebrate

our annual All Saints Day Memorial Service at

both 8:30 and 10:00 am. At these services we

will read aloud the names of those of our

congregation who have died in the past year

and light candles in their memory. But we also

recognize that many are grieving people beyond

our congregational rolls and people who have

been gone longer than a year, and so we will

have candles throughout the sanctuary for

people to light in honor of those whose death

they mourn on that day.

Youth News

Confirmation has begun on Sunday mornings at

9:15 am (in the newly claimed and repainted

Confirmation Room), and the monthly youth

gatherings (3td Wednesday of every month at 5:30

pm) have had their first meeting. The youth put

together gift packets for young parents of limited

means, that were given away at the Community

Baby Shower.

One new development in youth programming

here is that we are beginning quarterly Circuit

Youth events, combined gatherings of youth from

United Methodist Churches across our area. For

our first event this month the youth will volunteer

at The Community Table on Sunday, October 27th

from 1:00—5:00 pm, then go out for ice cream.

Get everyone together to join us!

Community of Compassionate Outreach

Wrapping It Up Soon

The All-Church Bazaar is under two weeks away on

October 19th and 20th. As you complete your

donations, please keep in mind the following:

● include an ingredient label. Some folks

have diet restrictions such as no nuts or

chocolate. And it’s sometimes hard to tell if a

pie is apple or peach once it’s baked, or if

fudge has nuts inside.

● bring your food item already enclosed in

plastic wrap or zip-lock type bag.

● label plants with their name and the

amounts of light and water they need.

Donations will be accepted until 7:00 pm

Wednesday (October 16th) and until 5:30 pm

Thursday and Friday, (17th and 18th). Workers,

many in Lake Street’s green tee shirts, will be

happy to help you buy on Saturday from 9:00 am

to 2:00 pm and again on Sunday, 8:00—11:30 am

during the Pancake/French Toast Breakfast. It is

MISSION POSSIBLE because of you! Thank you!

Bottles Needed for Bazaar

Please return any dressing bottles from your

Bazaar purchases last fall. We’ll prepare them

again with this year’s WOW and Onion

Dressings.

ARCW Wish for October: Canned Tuna

Please join others from Lake Street UMC in

assisting AIDS/HIV clients by donating a can of

tuna to the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin

during the month of October. Thanks to

everyone who reached out to ARCW clients in

August by donating 43 bottles of juice to the

ARCW Food Pantry. Your efforts and continued

donations are greatly appreciated.

Maritimes Presentation

This months Digital Shooters meeting will be a

presentation by Winnie Doxsie. She will share

some photos and stories from her recent trip to

New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova

Scotia. Time permitting there will be some

show and tell of some photos that didn’t turnout

exactly as we planned and we’ll try to figure out

why. If you have a photo to share bring in a

thumb drive. See you on Wednesday, October

9th at 6:30 pm in Room 202.

Hurricane Dorian Disaster Response

To donate to the disaster response through

UMCOR, contributions in support of United

States Disaster Response efforts may be
