Prelude: Zisuh nih a zultu hna sinah (a song from our new Mennonite hymnal)
Welcome: from Pastor Joanna
Opening Scripture: Psalm 146
Call to Worship: As we prepare to celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, hear these words from King as our call to worship today.
Gathering Hymn: Praise the One who breaks the darkness; Sing the Story #1
Congregational Prayer:
You are invited to offer your prayers to God. For what are you thankful today? What would you ask of God for yourself? Who do you know who needs God’s loving presence right now? What are your prayers for our community, our country, and our world?
Feel free to share your prayers with people around you, in the comments below, or on our Zoom call at 11 Sunday morning.
The Lord’s Prayer: (You can stop after the text of the Lord’s Prayer or listen to the whole song.)
Hymn: God of the Bible; Sing the Journey #27
Scripture Reading: Luke 4: 14-30 (Today’s scripture starts about 2 minutes in; today’s reading ends at 4:50–after Jesus walks through the crowd. You can stop the video there or watch the rest.)
Sermon from Chris Becker, one of the pastors at Emmanuel Mennonite Church in St. Paul, MN (He’s really not scary, that’s just an awkward screen shot.)
