God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 130
To be read aloud by someone in your home:
Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.
Opening Prayer
Think for a moment - in what situation or situations in your life or in our world do you feel like you are lacking in hope? Are there people around you who you know are in need of encouragement and hope?
Now, look at the Psalm again, slowly. What are the truths you see there about God? And how do those truths give us hope?
Then pray, thanking God for who He is and what He has done. Ask Him to help you put your hope more fully in Him, for His help and strength for those you thought of who need a touch from His grace.

Congregational Singing
We encourage you to sing - make a joyful noise! If you play an instrument, play! If you have some favorite hymns or choruses, pick one or two and sing! Or make use of other technology to play some music, and listen and sing along.
Below are some hymns you can make use of if these would be a help to you.
Offering
During this time when we can't gather on Sundays, we can still receive your offerings a couple of ways:
You can drop your offering in the locked mailbox outside the church office entrance
Or, you can mail them to the church at 393 Water Street, Augusta ME 04330.
