Service
of Healing and Wholeness—December 11 @ 6 PM
I
know that many in our congregation, in our community, are dealing
with pain. Physical pain caused by disease, emotional pain caused by
stress and the loss of loved ones. On December 11 you are welcome to
join me in a service of worship and prayer for those in need. We
will have a time for those who would like hands laid upon them as we
pray for healing.
Pray
for:
Our
church, that we might continue to look for opportunities to serve
others this Christmas season

Text
for this Sunday
Luke 22:35-46
Purse, Bag, and Sword
He
said to them, ‘When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or
sandals, did you lack anything?’ They said, ‘No, not a thing.’ He
said to them, ‘But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and
likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and
buy one. For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me,
“And he was counted among the lawless”; and indeed what is
written about me is being fulfilled.’ They said, ‘Lord,
look, here are two swords.’ He replied, ‘It is enough.’
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
He
came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the
disciples followed him. When he reached the place, he said to
them, ‘Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.’ Then
he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and
prayed,‘Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet,
not my will but yours be done.’ Then an angel from heaven
appeared to him and gave him strength. In his anguish he prayed
more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood
falling down on the ground. When he got up from prayer, he came
to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, and
he said to them, ‘Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you
may not come into the time of trial.’
