“Does God enjoy leftovers?” is the theme of Ron Guengerich’s sermon this Sunday. We will set the table for God in worship and will “bring the potluck” to this worship that celebrates the common table to which we are invited. The Scriptures are from Mark 12:38-40 (contrasting the religious scribes with the poor widow), Psalm 127, Ruth 3:1-5; 4:13-17 (Ruth, the generous widow) and Hebrews 9:24-28 (Jesus’ ultimate generosity). Our worship and music planners will be Gail Shetler and Joy Kauffman King.

“Watch out!  Don’t be gullible!” is the sermon that grows out of Jesus’ words in Mark 13:1-8. Jesus warns the disciples that they will need to be very discerning and wise in the turbulent times that they will face. Is that any different than today? The other Scripture to read and consider are 1 Samuel 2:1-10; 1:4-20 (the story of Samuel’s birth), and Hebrews 10:11-18. Our worship and music planners will be Gail Shetler and Joy Kauffman King.
