Pastor Mary's Daily Prayer
God of the Universe, thank you that you have plans for me that are for my good and your glory. Your word says that you are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the people. With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, and rescued them from their distress. Perform miracles in my life Lord to display your power and glory. Increase my faith to trust in you. May my whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless to the end. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

SUPPLEMENTAL BULLETIN

INTRODUCTION
God's word is like the rain that waters the earth and brings forth vegetation. It is also like the sower who scatters seed indiscriminately. Our lives are like seeds sown in the earth. Even from what appears to be little, dormant, or dead, God promises a harvest. At the Lord's table we are fed with the bread of life, that we may bear fruit in the world. PRAYER OF THE DAY Almighty God, we thank you for planting in us the seed of your word. By your Holy Spirit help us to receive it with joy, live according to it, and grow in faith and hope and love, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Wednesday Online Bible Study
|
|
We are going to hold a Zoom Bible Study on Wednesday at 4:00p.m. We will be looking at this passage as well as some questions to think about in preparation for Wednesday. You are encouraged to meditate on this passage, either alone, or with others you live with and to take some time to write down your reflections. However, if you do not wish to do any preparation, you are welcome to join in the conversation on Wednesday at 4:00! Check your email for login information. You will need the meeting ID to join. If you did not receive an email, but would still like to join, please email rlcnewberlin@gmail.com for your login information.
Reflection Questions:
1. Read the passage out loud and listen for whatever word or phrase speaks to you. Perhaps it inspires you, perhaps it refreshes you. There is no “right” answer; at different times in our lives, we “hear” different messages in the same passages of the Bible. 2. What circumstances in your life connect to this particular word or phrase? Does this help you understand what it means that the Bible contains the “living Word” of God? 3. If you picture "opening the door and inviting Christ in”, where is the place you invite him into? What does it look like? Is it clean and orderly? Does it need attention? Are you proud of the space? Embarrassed? Too tired to care? 4. Have you experienced the Spirit working “deeply and gently” within you? When? How did you know it was God’s Spirit? 5. Is there anything in your life that “needs to be said” or anywhere you “need to go”? |
Home Bible Study
Ephesians 3:10-21 The Message (MSG) by Eugene Peterson 10 Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels! 11-13 All this is proceeding along lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus. When we trust in him, we’re free to say whatever needs to be said, bold to go wherever we need to go. So don’t let my present trouble on your behalf get you down. Be proud! 14-19 My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. 20 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. |
Weekly Musical Recommendations
from Linda Jakubowski, RLC's Director of Music
|
“From a Distance” - Bette Midler
|
“Amazing Grace” - Charlie Daniels
It is very difficult to sing a cappella (without accompaniment). This group is really exceptional. I love the way that their voices fill the empty church spaces.
“Be Still My Soul” - Eclipse 6 |
My daughter and I had a chance to see Josh Groban in concert several years ago. This inspirational song reminds us that God is always with us, and we are never alone.
“You’ll Never Walk Alone” - Josh Groban. |

Love [& RLC] Has No Labels.
We affirm, with the apostle Paul, that in Christ, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male or female. Christ has made us one." (Galatians 3:28)
RLC welcomes all and believes in diversity. Diversity is the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs. ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
We are a Reconciling in Christ Congregation. |
Beyond diversity though, RLC also practices inclusion. Inclusion is involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth and dignity of all people are recognized. An inclusive congregation promotes and sustains a sense of belonging; it values and practices respect for the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living of its members and its partners.

Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance."

Our Mission:
Celebrating God’s Grace
through Worship, Nurture & Outreach.
The ‘church’ is God’s people who believe that they are redeemed by Jesus Christ and serve Him daily through their lives with love for our neighbors. The church is where God’s people gather to receive Him through His means of grace which we celebrate through the Gospel, baptism, Holy Communion, prayer, fellowship, and mission.
We daily affirm that Christ lives in each person throughout the world for we are all one in Christ.
