Psalm Reading

Psalm 126 (NRSV taken from BibleGateway)

A Harvest of Joy

A Song of Ascents.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." 3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we rejoiced. 4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses in the Negeb. 5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy. 6 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.

Scripture & Sermon

"Servant leadership" has become a popular term in the "leading" community. One can assume its popularity is to impress upon those in leadership roles that leading is not about power, but about serving and supporting those who work "under" them. Read Reverend Hicks's message to learn more about the ultimate servant leader.

Closing Hymn

We walk by faith

Benediction

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

AMEN.
