Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
II Corinthians 8:1-9
8 We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that has been
granted to the churches of Macedonia; 2 for during a severe ordeal of affliction,
their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of
generosity on their part. 3 For, as I can testify, they voluntarily gave according to
their means, and even beyond their means, 4 begging us earnestly for the privilege
of sharing in this ministry to the saints— 5 and this, not merely as we expected;
they gave themselves first to the Lord and, by the will of God, to us, 6 so that we
might urge Titus that, as he had already made a beginning, so he should also
complete this generous undertaking among you. 7 Now as you excel in
everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness, and in our love
for you—so we want you to excel also in this generous undertaking. 8 I do not say
this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love against the
earnestness of others. 9 For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty
you might become rich.
We are glad you have joined us this morning, and our hope is that through word,
music, fellowship and prayer, you will experience the presence of God today.
Please sign the Attendance Register as it is passed so that we can share with you
about what’s happening in the life of this church. Those who are interested in
joining First UMC are asked to contact Pastor Glenn at 336.751.2503.
Recent messages are on the church website: www.firstumcmocksville.org. If
