Join us on Sunday, November 3 at 10:30am at WPC, as we welcome musical guests, the St. Thomas Youth Choir, and celebrate together in an intergenerational worship service.  There will be no Sunday school, all children and youth 4 and up will stay in the sanctuary and worship together with the entire community.  Nursery care will be available for children 3 and under.

This week’s service will focus on the theme of “The Crowded Table” and All Saints Day.

“You can hold my hand

When you need to let go

I can be your mountain

When you’re feeling valley-low

I can be your streetlight

Showing you the way home

You can hold my hand

When you need to let go

I want a house with a crowded table

And a place by the fire for everyone”

– Songwriters: Lori Mckenna / Natalie Nicole Hemby / Brandi Carlile

This week’s message will focus on the following scriptures: Luke 14: 7-24 and Hebrews 12: 1-2. 

The Message Translation of Luke 14: 10-14 says these important words that remind us what a great banquet around the Lord’s table is really all about:

^10-11 “When you’re invited to dinner, go and sit at the last place. Then when the host comes he may very well say, ‘Friend, come up to the front.’ That will give the dinner guests something to talk about! What I’m saying is, If you walk around with your nose in the air, you’re going to end up flat on your face. But if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself.”

^12-14 Then he turned to the host. “The next time you put on a dinner, don’t just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You’ll be—and experience—a blessing. They won’t be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned—oh, how it will be returned!—at the resurrection of God’s people.”
