Matthew 14:13-21

I was filled with hunger

longing for something to fill

the ache in my stomach

and longing hear every word

from the mouth of my Savior

I longed to be filled

and healed

to know the truth

and feel it in my soul

and in my stomach

Take this bread and eat

as the loaves were passed

This is my body

as the people gathered

and shared Christ’s love through a loaf of bread

This is my body

Shared

Enough for the whole world

and the more shared

the more abundant was the love

and life

help me Lord to turn to my neighbor

Give

and say

The Body of Christ

Given for You

Psalm 145:8-21

Matthew 13:44-52

I confess that I am by nature sinful and unclean

Give us this day our daily bread

In God we trust

Our Father who art in heaven

I believe in God the Father Almighty

Words, words, words, words!

Right under our eyes, ears, noses

Shining so bright we sometimes fail to see God’s Glory

In our

---- but it’s bright and sunny

---- I’m too tired

---- I’ve too much to do

---- ho-hum Sunday mornings

right there all the time

the very thing we spend a life searching for

only to find

it’s given

freely given

and then sometimes for a brief moment

when we hear a new born baby cry

or the final breath of a life long friend

we hear also the words we speak to comfort them

and the love and hope they carry for us also

and see the shinning treasure

of the kingdom is like..

yeast

pearls

treasures

weeds

mold

and all kinds of things

in Christ’s outstretched hands

and called good.

Psalm 119:129-136

Worship Leader: and may we never depart from the path you have set us upon.

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

We live in the world

Full of grace

And full of fear

Among those who have not heard

---- are longing to hear

---- struggling

---- and could care less

to just hear

the Word

Give me grace Lord

Give me Peace

Give me the strength to see the weeds

As God’s children

---- who have not heard

---- are longing to hear

---- struggling

---- or could care less

to feed them the Word you have given me

the Word that can transform

and does transform

children like me

into the children of God

Psalm 86

Worship Leader: Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy, a member of the least lost and lonely and you have promised to be there for me and all who trust in you.

Congregation: You are my God;  have mercy on me and bring joy into my life O Lord, as I learn to put my trust in you.

Worship Leader: You hear my prayers O Lord when I cry for mercy. You are forgiving and good and abounding in love to all who call to you.

Congregation: There is nothing in this world or beyond that is like you O Lord. All nations and powers will come before you and bow O Lord, for you are great and do marvelous deeds for all your people.

Worship Leader: Teach me to rely on you fully O Lord, that I may praise you with my whole being and glorify your name forever. 

Congregation: For great is your love which has delivered me from the depths.

Worship Leader: Those who live in fear and surround themselves with power attack me and all the least and lost for they have no regard for you O Lord.  But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Congregation: Show me your mercy and strength O Lord and let me see your goodness.  Let the arrogant and powerful be put to shame and learn to turn to you where they will find the comfort I have found in you.

Matthew 13:1- 9,18-23 The Parable of the Sower

A small kernel

Lifeless

Except for what is inside

Slowly comes to life

Sending down roots

And up tender shoots

Seeking only nurturing and light

And the community

The children of God

Gather around

We receive you as a fellow member of the body of Christ

A worker with us

In the kingdom of God

Is how it is suppose to be

How busy

How stuck in our ways

How important our programs

And yet

Some grow

Help us dear Lord to till the soil

That allows

Them all

Go grow

Psalm 65

Pastor: Praise awaits you O Lord our God for to you our vows will be fulfilled.  To You O Lord who answers prayers, to You all people will come. 

Congregation: When we were overwhelmed by our sinful ways and lives without meaning, you offered forgiveness and purpose.  

Pastor: Blessed are those the Lord has chosen to be the people of God.  As we live our lives near to your calling we find our lives filled with good things from your holy realm. 

Congregation: In our times of need you answer our prayers with awesome righteous deeds.

Pastor: You O Lord are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of all lands near, and all lands far off.  You O Lord are the one who formed the seas and the mountains of the earth, calming the chaos of the roaring waves as well as the turmoil of the nations. 

Congregation: The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.

Pastor: You care for the land you created for us.  You water and enrich it abundantly. 

Congregation: We will care for this creation you have given us sharing the abundance of its harvest.  For you O Lord drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften this gift of creation with showers and bless its crops for all people.

Pastor: You Crown the harvest time with your bounty, the carts overflow with abundance. 

Congregation: The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.  The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; surely we will join with all creation and shout for joy and sing.
