FIRST LESSON Deuteronomy 31:7-8 NRSV

Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel: “Be strong and bold, for

you are the one who will go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their

ancestors to give them; and you will put them in possession of it. It is the Lord who goes

before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be

dismayed.”

and bless your name forever and ever.

C Every day I will bless you,

and praise your name forever and ever.

SECOND LESSON Acts 4:23-24a, 29-30 NRSV After [Peter and John] were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. When they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said, . . . “Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

If you are able, please rise for the Gospel.

GOSPEL Luke 6:6-10 NRSV

On another sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose

right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see whether he

would cure on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him. Even though

he knew what they were thinking, he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come

and stand here.” He got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful

to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?” After looking around

at all of them, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored.

P What is the mission statement of this congregation? C Empowered by the Holy Spirit we are a loving community that follows Jesus and seeks God’s will In all we do P What is the summary of that statement? C WE FOLLOW JESUS!
