Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, forever. Amen.

WE PRAISE GOD!

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a

mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and

he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes

He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of

righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you

and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Welcome

We gladly welcome you to worship, and we pray that

this service will be a time in which you experience the

presence of the risen Christ.

Several portable audio headsets are available

for use. These FM units allow you to receive

sound directly from the speaker’s microphone

with clarity.

Children

While children are certainly welcome to sit with their

parents in the service, childcare is provided for

children ages birth through kindergarten For

elementary-age children, there is a designated time for

children to come to the front of the sanctuary and

listen to a children’s message. Then they will have the

option to go with Ben for “Children’s Time,” a

program of worship/learning activities, or remain in

the worship service with their family.

Also, children’s activity sheets are available for all

children who remain in the sanctuary. Just pick up a

clipboard with the “Kids Bulletin” and pencil from the

basket in the sanctuary foyer. When your child finishes

the activity sheet, remove it, and return the clipboard

to the foyer.
