Ushering were Brenda Brooks, Elaine Chamney and Myrtle Badley. Floyd Herman was music director. Keuntae Lee (an exchange student who is staying with Kathy and Gary) lit the candles at the front of the church. Fred Hakkers ran the power point. Rev. Clark welcomed everyone to church. He drew our attention to the announcements in the monthly booklet. Special attention was given to clean up day at Camp Menesetung on Saturday, May 8. The Introit was followed by the call to worship and the prayer of approach. The first hymn was, “Come Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love”. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Rev. Clark asked them to teach him some of the ways they showed their love. Some of the answers were: Mom and Dad made sure they had food and clothes to wear, help them when they get hurt, saying I love you, showing you love someone by smiling. The children and the congregation sang the song, “And On This Path.”Ally Glousher carried the Christ Candle as the children went downstairs for their time of worship and fellowship. The scripture was from John 13: 31-35. The choir anthem was “What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love”. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was “Nurturing Love.” First,how do we nurture love? Jesus talksto His disciples about a differentkind of love. He tells them to treatothers as they would want to betreated.We should love others even thoughthey don’t love us. This kind of lovetakes work. How can we make thewords in the Bible adapt to today’s way of thinking? Jesus does not put conditions on love, but there are boundaries. In abuse, there is no love. If there were love, the person would stop the abuse. We have to nurture the child within us. Most of our fears come from childhood fears like being alone or lost. Our challenge today is to let love become the cure of letting go of thefear.God does not abandon us. Godwill continue to be with us. We livelove in the way we live our lives.The next hymn was, “O Jesus Joyof Loving Hearts”.The offering was received,followed by the Prayers for theWorld and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “Love Divine” was sung followed by the commissioning, benediction and the singing of the three-fold amen. Everyone was invited to have coffee and join in the fellowship.
