Verdugo Community Church Worship Service for July 18, 2021

We begin with a instrumental medley by Music Director Heidi Sandoval. Lead Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom welcomes all to worship and to participate in the life of our church family. Dale Reynolds calls us to worship by reading Psalm 138, and Albert Ramseyer opens us with prayer. Heidi leads us further in praise and worship music. Greg Hart focuses on the concerns and praises of the congregation in the Prayers of the People. Pastor Gail affirms the hope and comfort of Psalm 23, while calling us to action as disciples defined in Ezekiel 34 and Matthew 25 in her sermon, “The Good Shepherd’s Great Love.” Chaplain Dave Saltzman leads us in Communion, so you are invited to have bread or crackers and a beverage ready to participate.
