New Testament Lesson:….Luke 10:38-42……………Chris M.
10:38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
10:39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying.
10:40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.”
10:41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things;
10:42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Closing Hymn: “Together We Serve” #2175 TFWS
Words and Music: Daniel Charles Damon
© 1998 Hope Publishing Co.
1.Together we serve, united by love,
inviting God’s world to the glorious
feast. We work and we pray through
sorrow and joy, extending your love to
the last and the least.
2.We seek to become a beacon of hope,
a lamp for the heart and a light for
The feet. We learn, year by year, to let
love shine through until we see Christ
in each person we meet.
3.We welcome the scarred, the wealthy,
The poor, the busy, the lonely, and all
who need care. We offer a home to those
who will come, our hands quick to help,
our hearts ready to dare.
4.Together, by grace, we witness and
work, remembering Jesus, in whom we
grow strong. Together we serve in Spirit
and truth, remembering love is the
strength of our song.
