Welcome & Announcements

Prelude – “Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley”

Silent Meditation: When the going gets tough, you might just be on the journey Jesus calls you to. He calls us on a journey of meaning and purpose, of challenge and overcoming, of lessons and growth. He calls us on that kind of path because it was his path, and he calls us to follow him. It will involve accepting an important mission and caring about others more than ourselves, but when Jesus calls us to do something, he will help us do it.
