Genesis 1:26-2:4a
“Vacation”
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Vacation”. This message is part of an ongoing series titled, “Summer Traditions”. We will be reading from Genesis 1:26-2:4a and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 8.
Call to Worship Psalm 8
Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
People: You have set your glory above the heavens.
Leader: Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark,
People: To silence the enemy and the avenger.
Leader: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
People: The moon and the stars that you have established;
Leader: What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
People: Mortals that you care for them?
Leader: Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
People: And crowned them with glory and honor.
Leader: You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
People: You have put all things under their feet,
Leader: All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
People: The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
Leader: Whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
People: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Questions for Further Reflection:
So often when we go on vacation, we take in the beauty of Creation.
Why might it be so relaxing to be surrounded by nature?
What does that comfort tell us about who God is?
