You are invited into this worship experience for the week of Sunday, July 31.
The Bible is a gift that is many things to many people. To some it is something of a textbook, to others it is something of a collection of lessons or instructions. But what if we saw Scripture as a playground? A space for exploration and discovery? This Summer, we’ll be looking at some of the most fascinating stories in Scripture to understand more of their background, characterization, and impact on our lives. In doing this, we’ll be treating the text like a sandbox, a place where we might play, explore, and discover more about who we are meant to be.
From Matthew 7:7-11 & Luke 18:1-8
This week Rev. Scott Bach-Hansen will compare the two different Gospels approach on God’s Answering of Prayer. How do these texts differ and what is similar between them. We will break down each one and identify what the one message is trying to say to us.
No matter where you worship from, you are encouraged to add your voice to prayers and songs and stand as you are able. There is a Bulletin to help you experience worship. It includes links and information to help you be connected at Herndon UMC along with the order of worship.
There are two opportunities to worship Sunday mornings: an 8am outdoor worship (weather permitting) or at 10am in the sanctuary. The 10am worship is livestreamed on YouTube and herndonumc.org. Communion will be served each Sunday at the 8am service.
Sundays at 5pm we are offering “Sandbox Space.” Each week we’ll experiment with the text from that week in different ways but, most importantly, in community together.
As always, we want to stay connected and are a community of prayer. Glory sightings and prayer concerns may be shared by text, in the chat, through this online form, or at any time by email to prayerchain@herndonumc.org.
If you are new or looking to get more connected or learn more about Herndon UMC, please email welcome@herndonumc.org or complete this online form. You are welcome here and we would love to grow in a Spirit-filled relationship with you.
