With every change comes opportunities! With major roof repair work at Lake Merritt UMC, we are taking this opportunity to worship differently the next two Sundays.
This Sunday’s worship theme is “Sing! Praise the Lord! For God has been good to us!” (Psalm 126) Our worship will be a “Singing Service” with a pizza and salad dinner at 5:30PM.
Bring your family. In worship, children’s activities will be provided.
Matt Redman, one of the contemporary worship leaders shares, “In the end, worship can never be a performance, something you’re pretending or putting on. It’s got to be an overflow of your heart… Worship is about getting personal with God, drawing close to God.”
Come, friends! Let’s draw close to God and to one another as we sing songs to God in community.

Pastor Dale will be preaching on “What Can We Do?”
Early 20th Century Canadian activist Nellie McClung wrote: “Let us do our little bit with cheerfulness and not take the responsibility that belongs to God. None of us can turn the earth around. All we can ever hope to do is to hit it a few whacks on the right side.”
The “whacks” that we progressive Methodists of Christian faith can provide are rooted in the reality of the God who is immanent in all creation and the transcendent vision that God gives us of the wholeness of life. As our actions on behalf of a liveable planet are rooted in this vision of sustainable life for all, we can imagine the radical changes that we must be part of implementing this decade and do them in collaboration with all people of good will. Join us this Sunday!
Come friends!
