Sisters and Brothers, God our God is
full of power!
Like someone stranded in the desert
looking for water, we will seek the Lord.
God's love is better than life and
worthy of our praise.
We will praise the Lord as long as we
live, lifting our hands to heaven.
God is our help and upholds us like an
eagle gathering her own.
We will bless the Lord and sing under
the shadow of God's wings.

Next Sunday is the UMCOR
Sunday
For more than 50 years,
United Methodist congregations have been taking part in a special UMCOR Sunday offering,
laying the foundation for UMCOR’s ministry of relief and hope.
Donations UMCOR
receives through this offering help cover the costs of doing business. Gifts
like yours make it possible for UMCOR to use 100% of all other contributions on
the projects our donors specify, instead of on administrative or fundraising
costs.
