This Week's Message
"Reviving Isaiah"/"The True Meaning of Christmas"
Malachi 3: 1-4 & Luke 3: 1-6
Malachi 3: 1-2
"I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?
For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.
Prophets shared God's message to prepare for the coming of the Lord.
When the snow gets deep,
show me your path of HOPE.
When the path is steep,
give me strength to climb your path of HOPE.
When the path is dark,
light the way for me and for other believers
on your path of HOPE.
Lord, let us rejoice with all
as we prepare to celebrate your birth.
CALL TO WORSHIP FROM TODAY’S SERVICE:
One: Children of God, pay attention!
All: The days are coming when God’s peace will reign.
One: Children of God, prepare your hearts!
All: The days are coming when God will be near.
One: Children of God, be alert and listen!
All: The days are surely coming and are, in fact, already here.
1 Thessalonians 3: 12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone…”
WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.
BUT, UNITED (FOLLOWING JESUS),
WE ARE THE POWER OF GOD.

Message by Rev. Diane Olson Schroeder
"You're Calling ME, God?"
May 18, 2025
Mark 6: 1-13 & Micah 6: 8
Yes, God is calling you!
Boldly . . . .?
Tenderly . . . .?
Clearly . . . .?
Subtly . . . .?
Big call . . . .?
Little call . . . .?
Listen.
Keep an open heart.
You will get His message.
He will pick you up and empower you
to do what is not easy,
to do what is not predictable,
to do what is not boring—
to be his disciple.
Micah 6: 8
He has shown you, O mortal what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Be just. Love mercy. Walk humbly.
Figure out how to do God's calling.
God needs disciples today.
Call to Worship May 18
One: The prophets of old spoke of God's justice. Who will hear their message?
All: We will listen and we will hear!
One: Responding to God's call, Jesus traveled, preaching and teaching all who would listen. Who will hear his message?
All: We will listen and we will hear!
One: Christ sent out disciples two by two, to spread the good news to whomever welcomed them. Who will hear their message?
All: We will listen and we will hear!
One: God's prophets are among us still, around the world and in these pews. Who will hear their message?
All: We will listen and we will hear! Praise God!
WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.
BUT, UNITED (FOLLOWING JESUS),
WE ARE THE POWER OF GOD.
Affirmation of Faith: The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
