June 2, 2024 Youth Sunday

The Christian Healing Network dba Mission Medical Center was established in 2004 by a group of church leaders who noticed a lack in available health services for people that were uninsured. MMC operates with only 2 full time employees, 3 part time employees, and over 65 active and extremely loyal volunteers, 24 of which are healthcare providers who regularly see patients. Last year, we saw nearly 600 patients and provided $192,000 in free medical visits.
Our primary care clinic is our busiest clinic and is open Monday through Thursday from 9am to 4pm. We offer hour-long appointment times so our providers can spend time getting to know the patient, adequately treat their concerns, and offer spiritual care services as needed and/or requested. Through our primary care program, we offer free laboratory testing to our patients through our partnerships with Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp. We work with Colorado Springs Imaging to obtain x-rays and CTs when we need them for our patients. We have a small in-house lab and can run a few tests right in the office, including hemoglobin a1c, glucose, and UA testing.
MMC also has a fully operational dental clinic with 7 volunteer dentists, 4 dental assistants and a dental hygienist. We have dental x-ray machines, including a panoramic x-ray machine. We perform deep cleanings, fillings, extractions, and extensive oral hygiene education. Lastly, MMC has a Spiritual Care Center staffed with volunteer chaplains. We believe faith and medicine working together improves the lives of patients.

Each communion Sunday thereafter we will have a basket for those who feel called to give above and beyond their pledge. This "second-mile" giving will help fund the pastor's discretionary fund, which helps meet community needs as they arise, such as gas, lodging, clothing, etc. Feel free to bring your spare cash and change to help make a change in the lives of those in need.

June 9, We have a Youth Choir visiting us and they will be providing some of their music during the service. We want to say, “Thank You” and welcome them with a potluck right after the service. St. Paul’s will be providing the dessert so plan on bringing a main dish, side, or salad to serve 12(since we are hosting the youth and their adult advisors)

Getting your Ducks in a Row-June 8th: Whether financial and estate planning, keeping medical records, planning for emergency evacuations, or simply making our lives less stressful, we all know we should be better organized. Since we don’t know where to start, we procrastinate. Senior advisor Judy Rough has spent her career helping older clients organize their lives. Though she lives in Denver, she has offered to sponsor a free community seminar at St. Paul’s. The only cost will be for binder materials, available upon registration. The workshop is only a starting point; be prepared to devote some time to following her advice. We’ll enjoy a potluck brunch followed by a half-day workshop. So, sharpen your pencils, bring that egg casserole, and prepare to get your “ducks in a row.” Remember to invite all your friends, since this is a community outreach from St. Paul’s.
Contact Jeanne Marsh (719-229-1708) or the church office to register.

Opening Hymn
Is He Worthy

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won't Stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He was David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this? (He is)

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe
Every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?

He is!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
He is!
He is!

Hymn
My Hope is Built
UMH #368
WORDS: Edward Mote, 1834
1. My hope is built
on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood
and righteousness.
I dare not trust
the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean
on Jesus’ name.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils
his lovely face,
I rest on his
unchanging grace.
In every high
and stormy gale,
my anchor holds
within the veil.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

3. His oath, his covenant,
his blood
support me in
the whelming flood.
When all around
my soul gives way,
he then is all
my hope and stay.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

4. When he shall come
with trumpet sound,
O may I then
in him be found!
Dressed in his
righteousness alone,
faultless to stand
before the throne!

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

Scripture Reading
1 Corinthians 13
Bailey

If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part, but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love.

Our Father
who art in heaven, 
hallowed be Thy Name;

Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done 
on earth 
as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread, 
and forgive us 
our trespasses, 
as we forgive those 
who trespass against us.

Lead us not
into temptation 
but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power 
and the Glory forever.
Amen

Chorus
Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Verse 1
The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Verse 2
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Verse 3
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Sing like never before O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name
