Mid-Week Update

                                                                      June11th, 2025

​

     Welcome to the Mid-Week Update! We have enjoyed an exciting week here in our church! We are celebrating our annual Bible school and it has been fun to have our youth in God’s House. On Sunday, we will have the opportunity to see a pictorial review and hear the excited participants in song. We are so thankful for the youth of our church!

​

     It is amazing to me the number of people that influence our lives as we grow to adulthood. Early on, we receive guidance from our parents, grandparents, and extended family, but later, others will share in the shaping of their young lives. Individuals such as teachers, coaches, and hopefully our Family of Faith all help to influence their development. Young people will learn from the people that surround them. Solomon in Proverbs 1: 8-9 offers this message to us all,

​

                    “Hear, my child, your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teaching; for                                          they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck.” (NRSV)

​

     Parents and then Grandparents may have the most impact on the lives of their young people and the wisdom they receive. Therefore, it is important to share Godly wisdom, teaching, and a lived example for them to learn from. It is our hope that they will embrace these lessons and use them as a foundation in their decision making. The garlands and pendants represent reminders of the source and acceptance of the lessons learned. May the lessons that our young people receive help them to become the people of God that God intends.

​

May God Bless You!

Call to Worship:                    Reader: Jan Herrick

 

WL:  How should we pray to God this day?

   P:  Let our spirits be humble and contrite.

WL:  God will take all that we are and help us to work for good.

   P:  Even though we struggle and wonder if we are good enough, God sees 

        our abilities and our loving hearts.

WL:  Bring your hearts to God each day.

   P:  May God touch our lives with strength and confidence. AMEN.

Scripture Lesson: Proverbs 2: 1-15

​

 “My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments

within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your

heart to understanding; if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your

voice for understanding; if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for

hidden treasures— then you will understand the fear of the LORD and

find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth

come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for

the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, guarding the

paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones. Then you

will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant

to your soul; prudence will watch over you; and understanding will

guard you. It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak

perversely, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of

darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of

evil; those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their

ways.” (NRSV)
