The sizzling, fresh aroma of bratwursts and fresh beef burgers is carried downwind to the parsonage living room of Pastor Jamie and family. For over 35 years Pastor Jamie would be rushing out to such events in this town of Gunkel. With local country and western music bands playing in the background, the community celebrates Founder’s Day of Joe and Emma Schwart-hogg. In times past, Pastor Jamie would already have ordered two sandwiches, fries and a drink and sit at a picnic table to visit with townspeople. This year however, Pastor Jamie has chosen to keep a low profile. Why?

Peter Andrew Smith
“I wish I knew when all of this would be over,” Ben said.

“Me too.” Jill squeezed his hand from her hospital bed. “Some things we just can’t know. Remember the sermon that Pastor Tim preached last Sunday?”

“The one about the end times?” Ben rubbed his chin. “I have to admit it wasn’t the sermon I thought it would be.”

“What did you expect he would say?”

Call to Worship:

Life isn't always smooth. Jesus calls us to difficult and painful times as well as to times of joy and delight. In our worship today, let us explore something of his call.


Invitation to Confession:

Jesus, I don't understand how you could ever let me suffer.
Lord, have mercy.

Jesus, I thought that once I decided to follow you, everything would be wonderful.
Christ, have mercy.

Dear Ones:

From May 7 until June 11, 1979, it was my pleasure to spend 35 days travelling and visiting in the northwest United States, using a Greyhound Ameripass. So many events with inspirational implications happened that the desire to share some of them with you results in this letter.

Hannah's song is probably best-known and most frequently associated in the liturgy as an accompanying reading for the celebration of the angelic visitation to Mary (Luke 1:39-57). When the text is used in this manner, Hannah serves as a type of Mary, with her song echoing themes and expressions to be found in Mary's song.

Introductory Drama

Characters:
Man
Woman

(Scene: The entrance to eternity. A man sits at a desk, papers before him. Woman enters. She goes to the man and stands quietly. The man looks up.)

Man: Heaven on your right -- hell on your left.

Woman: (Looking at the doors, in awe) You mean that door leads to heaven ... and that one to hell?

Man: That is correct. Please don't take too long. There are others waiting.

Woman: But ... what do I do?
Robert A. Hausman
How to have law and order without tyranny? That is the question. Israel began as a rather loosely connected tribal confederacy. The Israelite tribes were led by charismatic leaders, or judges, under the divine direction of Yahweh. They were supposed to be knit together in one harmonious unit. They would avoid the tyranny, which was the result of being governed by a king. Instead, they would have Yahweh alone as their king. It sounded good, and certainly the book of the Judges reflects moments of such peaceful unity, but reality was often quite different.

Lee Ann Dunlap
In the early years of the sixteenth century, a young adventurer named Nicolas Herman left his parents' home near Lorraine, France, to join the French army. Wounded in war, he returned home to recuperate and thus began a process of soul searching that led to Christian commitment.
