Welcome     Rev. Tina Walker-Morin

Opening Song               Here I Am To Worship 

Opening Prayer (unison)        Deacon  

Gracious God, as we gather, give us courage like Job to trust even in sorrow. When we cannot see the way forward, help us remember that our Redeemer lives, and that we are never beyond your care. Amen.

Scripture: Job 3:1-4, 20-26 & 19:23-27 (NRSVUE)           Mary Beers

Today’s reading is from the book of Job:

After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.  Job said:

“Let the day perish in which I was born,
    and the night that said,
    ‘A male is conceived.’
 Let that day be darkness!
    May God above not seek it
    or light shine on it.

“Why is light given to one in misery
    and life to the bitter in soul,
who long for death, but it does not come,
    and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
who rejoice exceedingly
    and are glad when they find the grave?
Why is light given to one who cannot see the way,
    whom God has fenced in?
For my sighing comes like my bread,
    and my groanings are poured out like water.
Truly the thing that I fear comes upon me,
    and what I dread befalls me.
I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
    I have no rest, but trouble comes.”

And from chapter 19:

“O that my words were written down!
    O that they were inscribed in a book!
O that with an iron pen and with lead
    they were engraved on a rock forever!
For I know that my vindicator lives
    and that in the end he will stand upon the earth;
and after my skin has been destroyed,
    then in my flesh I shall see God,

whom I shall see on my side,
    and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
    My heart faints within me!”

May God bless this reading and our understanding.

Our Father/Mother/Creator,who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kin-dom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kin-dom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen
