WINCHESTER FRIENDS CHURCH

Since April 2009, the number of commercially-printed bulletin covers was reduced and replaced by in-house bulletins featuring photos and artwork from Winchester Friends.  This week’s in-house bulletin cover front and back is below:

 “The key word of the dedicated Christian should be ‘give.’ Charitable contributions speak eloquently of your unselfish Christian generosity.” — Billy Graham (1918-), American evangelist 

“Giving is more than a responsibility—it is a privilege; more than an act of obedience—it is evidence of our faith.” — William Arthur Ward (1921-94), American educator 

“Everything we have is really loaned to us; we can’t take anything with us when we depart. If we have no use for a thing, we should pass it on to someone else who can use it—now.” — Norma S. Scholl

I Will Joyfully Sing
I will joyfully sing in the morning;  I will joyfully sing all the day.  I'll sing praises to Thee in the morning, for the Lord is the strength of my day.
I will lift up my eyes in the morning, for the Lord will not turn me away; I'll sing praises to Thee in the morning, for the Lord is the strength of my day.
I will sing!  I will sing! 
I will sing of praises, His goodness to me; I will sing!
--Mary McDonald, adapted from Psalm 59:16  (CCLI 649965)

Unprogrammed Worship is time allowed for Friends' practice of non-symbolic holy communion.  In focused reverence, we experience God's perfect expression of reconciling love in Jesus' sacrificial living, dying, and resurrection.  Through the Holy Spirit, the written Word, and Christ's Body the Church, we acknowledge Jesus' presence with us as the Bread of Life for our souls' nourishment, growth, and vitality.  If God leads you to speak out of the silence, please request a microphone so all can hear your ministry.
