October 2, 2022 Worship | Just Do It
On World Communion Sunday - Baptists, in conjunction with other denominations and believers worldwide, participate in communion to recognize our unity in Jesus Christ. We will gather around the table and Jesus’ teaching on faith the size of a mustard seed. Faith is not a recipe, or incantation, but an invitation to go and live according to what you have seen, heard, and know. We will collect a benevolence offering after worship, and enjoy a potluck together in the fellowship hall.
Sermon Text: Luke 17:5-10
Lectionary Texts: 2 Timothy 1:1-14, Psalm 37:1-9
