WE OFFER OURSELVES TO GOD
PRAYER OF HEALING
Wonderous God, we come to you with busy minds and over-filled agendas,
we seek your wisdom and grace in our distracted lives.
As we walk bustling streets, busy markets and crowded stores, we easily miss your quiet lessons
in the cacophony of stuff ruling our lives,
we need to listen, to act and do things we don’t always want to do.
Hear our hearts, Holy Parent,
(silent prayers, meditation)
WORDS OF GRACE AND COMFORT
We come together to lay our lives aside, to be renewed and revitalized,
In our gathering, you call us and offer us strength, wisdom, and courage.
God has made us and Christ has made us anew!
Our hearts and hands are open to receive you, Jesus, as we pray in your name,
Amen!
THE SCRIPTURE SPEAKS TO US
SCRIPTURE READING Luke 10: 38-42 & Colossians 1:15-28
In this are God’s hope for our future. Thanks be to God!

GETTING TO KNOW OUR SUMMER STUDENTS BETTER...
This week's question...What is something that scares you?
ASHLEY-Heights, BRENDEN- Clowns
KATHLEEN- Snakes, JONATHAN- Not knowing – when I don’t know what’s up and coming it drives me nuts
ACTIVITY MORNINGS
What a wonderful week of Activity mornings we’ve had! This coming week is overfull, so our Summer Leadership Team is going to be very busy on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Here are the themes and books for this week! Self-Care, Love and Bravery. Here is the link to register: https://form.jotform.com/221573464209254
Here is this week’s core value
Your job … find out the answer this week. The answer will be revealed in next week’s bulletin
HOW DID YOU DO? Last week’s answer was Compassion.
Question for you: We are considering the value of the bulletin. This doesn’t involve the announcements or office information at all as they would be included in the new format. We would like feedback to make an informed decision whether to continue doing the bulletin in the future. If you would like to give the office at call at 780-875-8959 or fill out a Gathering in Love pew pad sheet, it would be appreciated. Please rate whether you would like to keep the bulletin – 1 or doesn’t matter – 10 and if you could perhaps elaborate on your decision this will make it easier to decide. Thank you for your time and patience.
As beloved children of God, all are included in the life and ministry of the Grace Family where diversity is celebrated. We remember, as we celebrate God’s presence in Worship, that Grace United Church gathers on Treaty 6 land, the traditional territory of the Plains, Wood Cree, and Assiniboine peoples. As Treaty people, we seek to live with respect on this land and live in peace and friendship with all our relations.
