Prelude by Thayer French

Hymn: All Who Hunger

Opening Prayer by Richard Thomson

Almighty God our Heavenly Father, the Great Creator of this vast and wonderful universe and all things therein contained, You gathered the soil of the Earth and with Your breath of life our world was born. You brought life to us, to all the animals, to every living thing in our world.
You sent to us Your son our Savior who breathed new life into Your words and served as an example of how we should live our lives so we are in harmony with Your creation. We are Your church and we carry with us the breath of life You breathed on that great day of creation.
Help us to live the lives You would have us lead. Help us to follow in the footsteps of Your son. Help us to be the living and breathing church that can be Your messengers here on Earth. Help us to serve as a shining example of the lives Your servants lead that we may attract others to You.
We are not perfect beings, but You do not ask for perfection. You understand human frailties and You understand Your true servants regret their missteps and strive to do better and become closer to You.
As we gather in Your name may we feel Your presence, may we feel You by our side. And may this feeling be with us always, in every day of our lives and may we always seek to take one step closer to You.
AMEN.

Today's Scripture: Matthew 13;13-20

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Prelude: For the Beauty of the Earth & For Fruits of Creation Thayer French

Hymn: The Church's One Foundation

Opening Prayer by Richard Thomson

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Jesus, Your son and our savior, brought Your words to us. And You have charged us, as Christians, with carrying Your words to the world. We ask Your assistance with this monumental task and pray we do not disappoint You.
We are imperfect beings and we know we will err as we travel through our daily lives. We will show anger when we should show love. We will think of ourselves when we should think of others. We will turn and walk away when we should offer the hand of charity. But we also know we can count on Your forgiveness for our missteps. We know we are Your children. As earthly parents love and forgive their children, we know Your love for us knows no end and Your forgiveness is universal.
We ask Your blessing for all people, especially for those who are part of the universal church built in your name. May we find comfort by knowing no matter what the circumstance, no matter what the problem, You are by our side. Knowing that, we ask You to help us find the courage to be the people You would have us be. AMEN.

Old Testament Reading: Ezekiel 18:30-32

30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Special Music: "Way Maker"

Today's Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:4

"God wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Sermon: "God's Dream"
by Pastor Gil Lee

When we live through times of crisis, the things that must be checked are the pillars of our life foundations that support us. We will have to check where we are coming from and where we are going and walk in a clear direction without going off our way.

When we meet unexpected things or face a crisis, it can shake our minds or thoughts. It's important to check the foundational values that hold our lives together. I hope that it will be a time to discover once again what the most important values are in our lives and to strengthen our foundation so that our hearts and eyes can remain focused on God always.

Today I am going to share the Word of God, which has held me since 1995. That is 1 Timothy 2:4. "God wants all men to be saved and to come to know the knowledge of the Truth." This is my Life Verse that I decided to do as an overseas missionary after entering a seminary to do ministry in Korea.

The Life Verse is a verse that allows me to focus my mind back on God even during a difficult time. When I see this, I have the heart of God, who loves everyone, and I remember God’s calling for me to serve as a missionary. This word, which has led me to the heart of God for 25 years so far, probably holds the rest of my life as well.

The wish that I always have while talking about this verse is that all of you who listen to this be able to find your own "Life Verse." You may change your Life-Verse for a while. But at some point, you will have a verse or some verses that keep you from seeing God in your lives so that the verse or verses will keep your focus on God and bring you back to God when you might lose your way.

Who is a Christian?

Basically, Christians are people who have accepted Jesus as the Christ, the Savior, and the Lord in their lives. Other than that, you may describe it in various ways. Today, I would like to introduce a 'Christian' as 'a person who achieves God's dream'. Because Christians are people who live according to the purpose of Jesus' life in this land. Christians are those who decided to follow the life of Jesus. Therefore, it is the Christians who live to fulfill God's dream that Jesus wanted to achieve.

What is God's dream?

1 Timothy 2:4
“God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth”

2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

God wants all men to be saved and does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

The population of the world is about 7.8 Billion. When God said ‘Everyone’ he meant there are no exceptions in the world. This is God's dream that all the people in the world are to be saved and that they come to know the Truth of Jesus Christ. The purpose of God's sending Jesus to the earth was to save everyone, and the purpose of Christian living is also to follow the purpose of Jesus’ life.

This is the reason God calls us 'God's fellow workers' in 1 Corinthians 3:9

1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (NIV)
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

But we have a concern. Some might think that “I am not qualified for God’s work”

I don't know what qualifications you have heard for God’s fellow workers. But I find there is a misunderstanding about God's worker. There's good advice I want to introduce.

"God doesn't call the standardized, but God equalizes the call"
(Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor, National Community Church, Washington D.C.)

Like Isaiah's confession, if we want to participate in God's dream, God is the one who molds those who respond to His dream.

Isaiah 64:8 (NIV)
8 Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.

God did not only create us, but he still molds us through His dream.
Meditating on God’s Word more and more, In fact, we can find that God did not invite us to do God’s work, but to mold us as His wonderful creature, restoring His image by inviting us for His work.
We will discover God's ultimate purpose is to mold us, not to achieve God's work through us as we participate in His work more and more. We will finally find the ultimate purpose of God is not His dream alone but for us as well..

I hope and pray that all of us will find the ultimate purpose of God which is not for His sake but for our sake.

Let us pray.
Father, Our God, thank you for choosing us as Your fellow workers. We want to be used by You. Although we encounter difficult and hard situation to endure, fill us with Your Spirit so that we can walk them through with Your big picture. Pour out Your Spirit upon us as Your fellow worker continually. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Closing Hymn: To God Be the Glory

Benediction

Go forth, as people renewed by the love of God.
Go forth, to renew others with this very love.
Amen.

Prelude: For the Beauty of the Earth & For Fruits of Creation Thayer French

Let us begin with prayer: God of all the ages, in your sight nations rise and fall, and pass through times of peril. Now when our land is troubled, be near to judge and save. May leaders be led by your wisdom; may they search your will and see it clearly. If we have turned from your way, reverse our ways and help us to repent. Give us your light and your truth, let them guide us; through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of this world, and our Savior. AMEN (BOW 517)

Opening Hymn UMH #431 Let there be Peace on Earth

Scripture Lesson: For our theme of Emergence, we will read parts of the Creation story each week.

Old Testament Reading from Genesis Roz Spiller

Genesis 1:9-12
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

Hymn UMH # 707 Hymn of Promise

Special Song by Roland Ackerman

Prayers for our folks in Nursing homes, Fred, Imogene, and Betty Champagne.
Prayers for Cheryl Dennis and June Goss. Please let me know if you want to add to our list.
Joyful Celebrations to this year’s Graduates for persisting through the pandemic. Much success to you all.

Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38 (NIV)
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Benediction

Go now in peace, but be prepared to laugh with Sarah.
Go now in hope, and be ready for unexpected miracles.
Go now in love, for the one who loves us goes with us.

TRINITY SUNDAY

Prelude: For the Beauty of the Earth and Hymn of Promise. Thayer French

As we begin the season of Pentecost, and celebrate the very beginnings of Christianity, may we always remember God’s love for us. Especially now in this time of uncertainty, may we put our fears to rest, and put our hope in Jesus’ message of love for us all. On this Trinity Sunday we celebrate one God in three persons.
Opening Hymn UMH#64 Holy, Holy, Holy

As we deal with the uncertainty of Covid-19 and the sadness and anger of racial injustice, let us pray this Prayer in the time of Chaos.

Prayer in Times of Chaos: Make my heart and my feet be still, O Rock and Redeemer. The world around me continues in chaos--I cannot claim control over it. Instead, remind me of the breath of life that flows in me. In and out, in and out, in and out, continuously. O Rock and Redeemer, you are here. Within me. Around me. Always. Thank you. Amen
(Rev. Katie Black from “We Pray with Her.”)

Scripture Lesson: For our theme of Emergence we will read parts of the creation story each week. Our Reader this week is Lynn Johnson

Genesis 1:1-8 1In the beginning God when created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. 6And God said, "Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8God called the dome "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day.

Hymn / UMH #707 Hymn of Promise

Greeting: No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is perfected in us.

Prayer: Everlasting God: You have revealed yourself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and ever live and reign in the perfect unity of love. Grant that we may always hold firmly and joyfully to this faith, and, living in praise of your divine majesty, may finally be one in you; who are three persons in one God for ever and ever. Amen BOW 410

Communion

Scripture / Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Message / Pastor Gil

Benediction / Pastor Gil

May we go forth, not in the strength of our own perceived power, but in the strength of the One who created us, redeemed us, and sustains us, One in Three, almighty and everlasting. Amen.
Prayer Upon Leaving:
Holy God, help us to treat everyone as Jesus would treat them so they will know through our words and actions that you love them.

Heart of the Matter

Prelude / Thayer French

We continue with our Easter Season because Easter isn’t just one day. This week we are invited to keep Jesus’ commandments–to love one another is to keep each other in our hearts. Every week we remind ourselves why we gather. We are forming a habit of spending time together, breaking bread together, praising God together and having goodwill for all the people. In the account of the early church, they did just that:

“Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people.” (Acts 2: 46-47a)

We create a “temple” of worship in our hearts that connects us across boundaries, distance and time. But as we share this worship, we will stay connected. At the “heart of the matter,” we are connected through the Spirit that makes us one in love.

Opening Act of Centering Our Hearts as One

We are going to center our hearts as one to begin.
Let’s take a deep breath together [everyone breathes together].

I invite you to place your hand on your heart and
let’s lightly tap together in a slow heartbeat rhythm

Holy Living God,
Heartbeat of Creation,
help us to take this time to center on you,
for you made us,
you gave us life,
and you continue to be with us
every moment…
[wait a couple of beats]
every breath…
[wait a couple of beats]
every step.

Let us pick up our heart stone, sometimes called a “worry stone,”
and let our touch on its surface remind us that God’s touch is
within us, between us, and around us.
As close and real as this object is in our hands right now,
is how close Love is to us always.
Let us imagine letting go of our worries for now into God’s heart of love.

Opening Song / UMH#158 Come, Christians, Join to Sing

Scripture Reading

Today we commemorate the moment when the disciples witnessed Jesus’ leaving this physical world. He had spent some quality time with them, helping them understand more about their faith and the continued mission that they must now carry on in the world. He asked them to encourage people to a change of heart–to believe in hope and life and love that was his message on earth. As we often do when we take our leave from someone we love, Jesus blessed his followers.

Reader:
Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He said to them, “This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Look, I’m sending to you what my [Abba, God] promised, but you are to stay in the city until you have been furnished with heavenly power.”

He led them out as far as Bethany, where he lifted his hands and blessed them. As he blessed them, he left them and was taken up to heaven. They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem overwhelmed with joy. And they were continuously in the temple praising God. - Luke 24: 44-53

Let us Pray:

O God, Holy One, our altar, our cloud
In the resurrection of your Son you have brought us into your temple.
Accept the sacrifices we offer, and draw us into the fire of your spirit;
through Christ our Lord. Amen. Alleluia

As we continue to worship from our homes and on our computers, let us Trust that this crisis will actually bring us closer to each other and Jesus.

Anthem / “Trust in the Lord” by Mark Hayes

Trust in the Lord--Mark Hayes--March 18, 2018 from Common Ground UMC on Vimeo.

To be the “body of Christ” as the church is to see the world through the eyes of Jesus–to see through the eyes of love. As Christ’s body here on earth, we try to create the same conditions of love that he did while he was here on earth. We hope that “the eyes of our hearts” can be continually opened, as the disciples’ were that day of Jesus’ ascension, so that we can be the best representation of his love here on earth. Perhaps we can see “ascension” with Christ as an “elevation” or “heightening” of our gratitude and of our commitment to do good in the world.

Message / Pastor Gil

Closing Song / UMH 454 Open my Eyes That I May See

Benediction

L: Joy to the world!
P: The Lord has come to earth.
L: Joy to the world!
P: Christ has risen from death itself.
L: Joy to the world!
P: Christ’s glory is ours to share.

Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 17, 2020

Prelude / Thayer

Scripture Reading

John 14:15-21 (NRSV)
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them." ~

Let us Pray:
Merciful God,
We stand in the midst of
   sickness, death, and grief;
we see people
   without jobs, standing in mile-long food lines;
we witness the unjust distribution
   of resources and racial discrimination,
we watch health care providers
   exhausted and overwhelmed
   farmers with no market for their crops
we wonder ...
   have they, have we, been abandoned?

Jesus promised ...
that we would not be orphaned*
that you would send your Spirit
that, because he lives, we shall live
that you are not gone from us
that we have not been deserted
that you abide with us,
and in us.

   O God our Help,
hear our prayer --
to love you
to keep your great commandment to love others
to know you revealed through our loving acts
to see you --
here and now
with us and in us,
forever.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar.

Although we all miss being together at Hillside, we all know we are safer in our own homes.
This Anthem is upbeat and quick and a sweet reminder that God is Here wherever we are.

Anthem: “God is Here” by Patty Drennan and Jean Anne Shafferman-Lorenz Music

Doing the “right thing” is something we try hard to do. Sometimes doing the right thing is difficult and means that we make sacrifices to make sure we do not harm others. We do it because love is the commandment we live by. In this excerpt from an early church letter, we hear the apostle encourage the people to always be ready to share from their hearts about the source of hope that is in them–Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 3:13-16a
Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good? But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated, but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. -

How do we “sanctify Christ as Lord” in our hearts? To “sanctify” something is to set it apart as holy. Holiness resides within each one of us. It calls us to see holiness in others. It calls us to do the right thing in the name of Love, even when the right thing isn’t easy. Sometimes the right thing, and the hardest thing, is to follow the commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. We often focus about loving our neighbor, but we also must hear the second part… love ourselves. The Spirit is in us, Jesus says, and to love ourselves is to love God, to love the Jesus in each of us, and to love the Spirit that is our Companion and Helper.

Message Kept in our Hearts by Pastor Gil
- How God Stays With Us -

Closing Hymn UMH #384 Love Divine

Benediction

Renewed by God’s abiding presence,
We are sent to make God’s presence known.
Resurrected by the grace Christ offers us,
We are sent to make grace visible.
Refreshed by the Spirit who breathes deeply within us,
We are sent to companion others on the journey.

Thank you for your continuing thoughts, prayers, and pledges.
Blessings to you all.

Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 10, 2020

Prelude / Thayer

Leader: We continue with our Easter Season because Easter isn’t just one day. We have an abundance of days to celebrate new life. The early church shared the abundance they had in this way:

“Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people.” (Acts 2: 46-47a)

We create a “temple” of worship in our hearts that connects us across boundaries, distance and time. But as we share this worship, we will stay connected. At the “heart of the matter,” we are connected through the Spirit that makes us one in love.

Opening Act of Centering Our Hearts as One

We are going to center our hearts as one to begin.
Let’s take a deep breath together [everyone breathes together].

I invite you to place your hand on your heart and
let’s lightly tap together in a slow heartbeat rhythm

Holy Living God,
Heartbeat of Creation,
help us to take this time to center on you,
for you made us,
you gave us life,
and you continue to be with us
every moment…
[wait a couple of beats]
every breath…
[wait a couple of beats]
every step.
[the heartbeat tapping fades away]

Hear this assurance from God:

Be still, O heart, you’re not alone,
your beat is shared with me.
Come now, and calm, and center here,
you’re mine, secure and free.

Let’s take another deep breath, making sure our shoulders and any tension we feel in our bodies is letting go with the breath. [Pause to do so]
Let’s take another one. [Pause to do so]

Let us pick up our heart stone, sometimes called a “worry stone,”
and let our touch on its surface remind us that God’s touch is
within us, between us, and around us.
As close and real as this object is in our hands right now,
is how close Love is to us always.
Let us imagine letting go of our worries for now into God’s heart of love.
We offer a prayer song of letting go:

Into your care, we offer now,
our worries, fears and strife.
We turn to you and know you’re near–
Your light, our love and life.

Let’s light our candles now and set our heart worry stones next to it.

Opening Hymn UMH #618 Let Us Break Bread Together

Holy Commuion

Anthem: Joyful, Joyful We adore thee

Message / Pastor Gil

Closing Hymn: UMH #328 Surely the Presence of the Lord

Benediction

As we close this time together, remember:
God is always with you. No matter what you face,
no matter what trials or hardships come your way,
God is right beside you, ready to hold you, to be a rock for you,
guiding and directing your path.
So, acknowledge your fear and your worry
and know it is as true and holy as any feeling,
including joy and hope and love.
Take heart! This is the heart of the matter.
Amen.

Announcement

Again a sincere Thank you to all who are sending in their pledges. Please continue to do so.
