Oops! I printed the wrong page number for the first hymn "Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven." It is number 23 in the Chalice Hymnal...not 604 as previously posted. Sorry. The other hymn numbers are correct.

This is the 6th Sunday of Epiphany.

Worship Leaders:
Music Leader: Lisa Haley

Elder: (Phyllis Stowell is scheduled, but I need to check with her.)

Lectionary Texts:
2 Kings 5:1-14
Psalm 30
1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Loma is preaching from the 2 Kings text. Lisa, would you please plan to read the 1 Corinthians & Mark texts and lead in the responsive Psalm?

Loma said she would be willing to do the prayer time & the benediction. Lisa, in addition to the regular liturgisty duties, will serve at the Table with the elder.

I'll post the liturgical elements and hymns very soon.
