We might ask ourselves:  Why are the poor so special to God?  One humourist said that God must love the poor because there sure are a lot of them.  The poor are God’s because they have no one else to depend on.  With this in mind, the insight of Christian history has been nothing less than the fact that we are all poor, that we all suffer the same final fate despite our present riches.  In truth, none of us have anything or anyone to depend on but God.
  
We welcome Gertie Croft as our musician today. Thank you, Gertie, for being our minister of music today.
  
Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, George Simonis, Ed Stanat and John Weninger.  May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ.  Amen.
