Welcome all to the love and grace of Jesus. Cornerstone United Methodist is excited to have you in worship with us today for our 10:30 blended service. Today, we start off with our praise team leading us with “Build My Life” and “Nothing/Something”. Our offering music today is presented by our beloved Chancel Choir who will sing “Lord, I Stretch My Hands to You”. As we move into our message, the scripture today will be a responsive reading of Psalm 42:1-11 along with Matthew 2:16-18. Our message will be presented by Rev. Dr. Brian Germano and is the third in our “Where Is God When” series where we explore where God is in the midst of human evil and gun violence. Finally, we celebrate the holy sacrament of Holy Communion before we conclude with “Be Still My Soul”. Thank you for being part of our blended service today and every week! Thank you for being part of our blended service today and every week!

Join us and celebrate communion by knowing:

● All are Welcome… Because Jesus welcomed all, we United Methodists celebrate an “open table” that welcomes all persons (including children) to Holy Communion

● Use whatever bread and juice you have available… While grape juice and gluten free bread is used in our Sanctuary, you are welcome to use whatever type of bread and juice you have on hand to celebrate this Sacrament with us in your worship space

● Share the elements when you see that happening online… If you are with others, then offer the bread to them saying “the body of Jesus, given for you” and offer the juice saying, “the blood of Jesus, shed for you”

● Prayer… if you would like prayer, please email or call the church office and we’ll be happy to set up at time for the Pastor or staff to pray with you. Or you can simply email your request and it will be prayed for

● Today’s Special Communion Offering goes towards supporting Ellyn Dubberly in El Salvador … give online at www.cornerstonenewnan.org/giving and choose “Communion Offering” in the menu.
