Blessing of the Animals Worship Service
Sunday,
October 1, 2017 - 5 p.m.
At 5 p.m. on
Sunday, October 1, 2017, pets and their owners are invited to attend
a special
‘Blessing of the Animals’ worship service in the parking lot of
First Presbyterian Church.
“All are welcome: cats and dogs, birds and sheep, amphibians and
even the church mouse!” said Reverend Adam Quine. “Oh, humans too!”
Animals are an integral part of God’s creation. They inhabit the
skies, the earth, and the sea. They share in the ways of human
beings. They have a part in our lives. Through singing and praying,
and of course, with a blessing, Rev. Quine will lead the gathering
in expressing gratitude to God for the gifts of creation, especially
our pets.
In the interest of safety, pets should be controlled on their
leashes, harnesses, or in their carriers. If pets are unable to
attend, their owners may bring photos or drawings of them (with
their names) instead.
For more information, contact First Presbyterian Church, 301 Pekin
St., Lincoln. Phone 732-6141 or email office@preslincoln.org.

KIDS
WORSHIP
October 2017 Vertical Edge—
Working
for God
A good work ethic! It’s something employers look for
in a good employee. Certainly as adults we would want others to say
we work hard. And conversely, we would not
want others to say that we sure don’t do much toward our job. The
same is true of the job we take on as disciple makers when we become
a Christian. We should want others to know that we take the command
Jesus gave us to “go and make disciples” seriously enough to work
diligently. I’m reminded of something I once read that said, “all
God work is good work, but it is still work.” The series our kids
will be in during our Kids Worship time in October will focus on
working for God. Our key verse is Colossians 3:23; “Work willingly
at whatever you do.” Through this series our goal is to help kids
learn the privilege and joy of serving our Lord well. Parents, if
you would like to review what we study with your kids, the titles
and texts are below, and the main point is listed in italics.
•Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall. Nehemiah 2:11–20.
We honor God with our work.
•Joseph Becomes a Ruler of Egypt. Genesis 41; 37-57; 45:3–8.
We work where God puts us.
•The Parable of the Three Servants. Matthew 25:14–20.
We use our talents for God.
•Paul Presses On to the Goal. Acts 16:16–34; Philippians 3:12–21.
Our goal is to be like Jesus.
