Plentiful Harvest
Plentiful Harvest

Introduction:
It takes an effort to harvest the fruit of our labor, but doesn’t it bring joy to realize the accomplishments! Isaiah the prophet lets us know the Lord loves us and will bring us comfort.
David wants us to celebrate Gods love for us loudly!
In Galatians the Apostle Paul reminds us that we should invest our energy in good works for we will reap what we sow.
Luke sends us out into the community to spread the Good News and not worry if our words fall on deaf ears. We will find Gods love.

Welcome Happy Morning
by Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609
Translated by John Ellerton, 1826-1893

Welcome, happy morning!” Age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!”
Lo, the Dead is living, God forevermore!
Him, their true Creator, all His works adore.
“Welcome, happy morning!” age to age shall say;
Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!”

Scripture:
As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you. Is. 66:13.
Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth. Ps. 66:1.
You reap whatever you sow. Gal. 6:7.
Peace to this house! Luke 10:5.

I Love to Tell the Story
Kate Hankey (1866).

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know its true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else would do.
I love to tell the story,
‘Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

Prayer: Lord God of fresh beginnings,
you make all things new
in the wisdom of Jesus Christ.
Make us agents of your transforming power
and heralds of your reign of justice and peace,
that all may share in the healing Christ brings. Amen.

O Holy Spirit, Lord of Grace
Charles Coffin

O Holy Spirit, Lord of grace,
eternal fount of love,
inflame, we pray, our inmost hearts
with fire from heaven above.

Prayer: Dear Lord God of salvation,
who sent your Son to seek out and save what is lost,
hear our prayers
on behalf of those who are lost in our day,
receiving these petitions and thanksgivings
with your unending compassion.

We offer our prayers to you.

Redeeming Sustainer,
visit your people
and pour out your strength and courage upon us,
that we may hurry to make you welcome
not only in our concern for others,
but by serving them
generously and faithfully in your name. Amen.

Good Christian Friends Rejoice
John Mason Neale.
performed by PFC-UCC

Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ was born today.
Ox and ass before him bow,
and he is in the manger now.
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!

Prayer: Lord God of all nations and peoples,
your Son commanded his disciples
to preach and heal throughout the world.
Grant us, by the power of the Holy Spirit,
the zeal to proclaim the good news of peace and justice,
and gather all humanity into life with you. Amen.
We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.
