Sermon by Allen Tipping for October 4, 2020.

Worship Guide
October 4, 2020
Use this guide as a script, and, if possible, ask for a volunteer, roommate, or virtual participant to read the parts aloud. There are links to the songs to play and sing along with or, sing them a cappella. We want this to be a helpful guide for you and your community to participate together in worshipping the Lord.

Call to Worship - Scripture
Psalm 9:1-2
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Song
Practice: Thankfulness
Have someone read this aloud:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
As the family of God, we have so many things to thank God for, even in the midst of the hardest and darkest times in life. Let’s take 30 seconds to pause, then share aloud the things we’re thankful for with each other. Choose at least two people to share.
