Here's a recap of Sunday's liturgy with scriptures, songs and other notable elements:
Call to Worship: Psalm 90 NLT
Lord, through all the generations
you have been our home!
Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God.
You turn people back to dust, saying,
“Return to dust, you mortals!”
For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours.
You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.
They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
In the morning it blooms and flourishes,
but by evening it is dry and withered.
We wither beneath your anger;
we are overwhelmed by your fury.
You spread out our sins before you—
our secret sins—and you see them all.
We live our lives beneath your wrath,
ending our years with a groan.
Seventy years are given to us!
Some even live to eighty.
But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
soon they disappear, and we fly away.
Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
O Lord, come back to us!
How long will you delay?
Take pity on your servants!
Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,
so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!
Replace the evil years with good.
Let us, your servants, see you work again;
let our children see your glory.
And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!
Songs of Praise
Pass the Peace: May the Peace of Christ be with you.

Community Life - Jay Ewing (Pastor of Spiritual Formation)
• Over the last couple of weeks we've kicked off the Marriage Course with 8 couples who have set aside the time - some newly married and some married for decades - and we also hosted a Contemplative Prayer Night that focused on Imaginative Prayer as a pathway to encounter God through his Word. And this was on top of all the other things that happen here throughout the week. There are so many ways to get involved and we encourage you, if you haven't yet, to get engaged, to get involved in some way. Visit the Viewpoint, check out the calendar, or talk to one of our pastors and find your next step into the life of our community.
• Thank you as always for giving. So many of you give above and beyond to things you believe in, and we are blessed to be a part of your giving. Your generosity moves us forward in our mission. If you haven't begun giving maybe you'd consider it, not out of a place of guilt, but out of an invitation from Jesus. To learn more about giving and how your generosity is investing in the Kingdom of God here in Thunder Bay, visit redwoodpark.ca/give

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!

Or who has been his counselor?”
“Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
