He Is My CONTENTMENT
Instructions for participating in at-home worship:
Readings and prayer are provided here as suggestions for your family to do together. Even though our church is not physically gathered together in one building, there is a unity in Christ that happens when we all read the same scriptures and say the same prayers separately in our homes. Know that as your family participates in this worship time in your home, you are joining many others doing exactly the same thing in their homes.
You may download and print this entire service BULLETIN as well as sermon NOTES for children from the Download Files section at the bottom of this page.

11 I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
—Philippians 4:11b-13 (NIV)
Pray Together
God who stills the waters and quiets the storm, God who lets not a hair of our head fall without your knowledge, God who brings sight to the blind and words to quieted tongues, God who created the earth and all that is in it, God who teaches the foolish and strengthens the wise,
God who promises the coming day
— when there will be no more mourning or crying or pain
— when death will pass away
— when all things will be made new
Bring healing to our world, to our neighbors and to us, bring wisdom so that we may honor you and bring glory to you in these days of plague, bring strength so that we rejoice in your love in these days of plague, bring patience that is grounded in actively living in your ways in these days of plague, bring hope that is rooted in your good news of shalom, bring grace and calm to us so that we may bring grace and calm to others
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen

Contentment is hard to find in today's world; we experience glimpses of it, but God provides a way to embrace a soul of contentment.
