VERDUGO COMMUNITY CHURCH WORSHIP SERVICE OCTOBER 8, 2023

We open our service with song. Pastor Gail Linstrom welcomes all to worship and to participate in the life of our church family. Michelle Hensley calls us to worship with a reading from Psalm 89, and Michael Minasyan opens us in prayer. Nick Baltazar, Mike Minasyan and Ed Manacop lead us in our praise singing. Albert Ramseyer takes up the praises and concerns of the church and our world in the Prayers of the People.

 

In her sermon, “God’s Voice Gives Us Vision,” Pastor Gail looks at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Chapters 4 and 5, where he admonishes the members of the church to use their Spirit given gifts to work together in love, imitating not the world but Christ. We need to find out what our strengths and spiritual gifts are so that when we hear the Lord, we are ready to do what God wants us to do for others to build his Kingdom here on earth.

 

Pastor Gail then leads us in the sacrament of communion, and you are invited to participate as well.
