DESCRIPTION: \nWe gather each Sunday at 11:00 am for worship by singing hym
 ns\, hearing readings from the bible\, praying together and a celebration 
 of Holy Communion. Communion is the spiritual bread our bodies need to liv
 e. All are invited to join us at the Lord's table to be fed by his heavenl
 y food\, There are no strangers in God’s house\, and if you choose to wors
 hip with us\, we would be honored by your presence.\n \nIntroduction to to
 days service.\nToday the prophet Amos calls for justice to roll down like 
 waters. Paul urges us to encourage one another with the promised coming of
  the Lord. Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids. Su
 rrounded by the faithful of every time and place\, we celebrate Christ’s c
 oming in our midst in the word of life and the feast of victory—the marria
 ge feast of the Lamb.\n \nPrayer of the Day\nO God of justice and love\, y
 ou illumine our way through life with the words of your Son. Give us the l
 ight we need\, and awaken us to the needs of others\, through Jesus Christ
 \, our Savior and Lord.\nAmen.\nFirst Reading: Amos 5:18-24\nIn the days o
 f Amos\, people thought that the day of the LORD would be a time of great 
 victory\, but Amos announced that it would be a day of darkness\, not ligh
 t. He said liturgy is no substitute for obedience. The LORD demands justic
 e and righteousness in the community.\nPsalm: 70\nYou are my helper and my
  deliverer\; O Lord\, do not tarry. (Ps. 70:5)\n \nSecond Reading:  1 Thes
 salonians 4:13-18\nSome of the Thessalonians are worried that dead Christi
 ans will be excluded from the resurrection to eternal life when Christ com
 es again. Paul reassures them with the word of hope that all Christians\, 
 living or dead\, will be raised into everlasting life with Christ.\n \nGos
 pel:  Matthew 25:1-13\nJesus tells a parable about his own second coming\,
  emphasizing the need for readiness at all times. [Jesus said to the disci
 ples:]\n1  “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women 
 took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.\n2  Five of them were fo
 olish\, and five were wise.\n3  When the foolish took their lamps\, they t
 ook no oil with them\,\n4  but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamp
 s.\n5  As the bridegroom was delayed\, all of them became drowsy and slept
 .\n6  But at midnight there was a shout\, ‘Look! Here is the bridegroom! C
 ome out to meet him.’\n7  Then all those young women got up and trimmed th
 eir lamps.\n8  The foolish said to the wise\, ‘Give us some of your oil\, 
 for our lamps are going out.’\n9  But the wise replied\, ‘No! there will n
 ot be enough for you and for us\; you had better go to the dealers and buy
  some for yourselves.’ \\n10  And while they went to buy it\, the bridegro
 om came\, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet\
 , and the door was shut.\n11  Later the other young women came also\, sayi
 ng\, ‘Lord\, lord\, open to us.’\n12  But he replied\, ‘Truly I tell you\,
  I do not know you.’\n13  Keep awake\, therefore\, for you know neither th
 e day nor the hour.”\n \nAfter the Sermon\, Holy Communion will be offered
 . Come as you are\, the gift of the Table of the Lord has been prepared as
  Jesus has requested and now we are invited to the meal. Come to the table
  like Peter\, with more enthusiasm than resolve and like James and John\, 
 disappointed and the priorities of God’s reign. Come to the table like Mar
 tha\, hosting and leading with confidence like Mary\, full of love and gri
 ef. Come to the table like Judas\, disillusioned and rebellious and like M
 ary Magdalene\, faithful till the end. Come to the table\, because it is G
 od who invites us and it’s God’s will that those who want to should meet G
 od here.\nBlessing for the day (Our blessing is an adaptation of a Francis
 can Prayer)\nMay God bless us with discomfort at a Easy answers\, half tru
 ths and superficial leaderships so that we may live out God’s will deep in
  our heartland in our world.\nMay god bless with anger at injustice\, oppr
 ession and exploration and the environments that we may work for justice\,
  freedom and peace.\nMay God bless us with tears to shed for those who suf
 fer from pain\, rejection\, hunger and war so that we may reach out with h
 ands and hearts to help them\, walk with them and turn their pain into hop
 e and joy.\nAnd may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that w
 e can make a difference in this world\, so that we can do what others clai
 m cannot be done. To bring justice\, peace\, hope and love to all children
 \, the poor and all others in any need.\nGod be your comfort\, your streng
 th\;\nGod be your hope and support\;\nGod be your light and your way\; and
  the blessing of God Creator\, Redeemer and Giver of Life\, remain with yo
 u now and forever. https://messiahofthemountains.org/events/event/707-24th

 y food\, There are no strangers in God’s house\, and if you choose to wors
 hip with us\, we would be honored by your presence.\n \nIntroduction to to
 days service.\nOur readings during November speak of the end times. Zephan
 iah proclaims that the coming day of the Lord will be filled with wrath an
 d distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us 
 to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents\, calling us
  to use our gifts\, while we still have time\, for the greater and common 
 good. In a world filled with violence and despair\, we gather around signs
  of hope—word\, water\, bread\, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of
  Christ’s coming among us.\n \nPrayer of the Day\nRighteous God\, our merc
 iful master\, you own the earth and all its peoples\, and you give us all 
 that we have. Inspire us to serve you with justice and wisdom\, and prepar
 e us for the joy of the day of your coming\, through Jesus Christ\, our Sa
 vior and Lord.\nAmen.\n \nFirst Reading: Zephaniah 1:7\, 12-18\nZephaniah 
 (like the prophet Amos in last week’s first reading) presents the day of t
 he Lord as one of judgment and wrath. Descriptions of the last day in the 
 New Testament include details taken from Old Testament accounts of the day
  of the Lord.\nPsalm: 90:1-8 [9-11] 12\nSo teach us to number our days tha
 t we may apply our hearts to wisdom. (Ps. 90:12)\n \nSecond Reading:  1 Th
 essalonians 5:1-11\nThough we do not know and cannot calculate the day of 
 Christ’s return\, we live faithfully in the here and now as we anticipate 
 the day when we will be given eternal salvation through our Lord Jesus Chr
 ist.\n \nGospel:  Matthew 25:14-30\nJesus tells a parable about his second
  coming\, indicating that it is not sufficient merely to maintain things a
 s they are. Those who await his return should make good use of the gifts t
 hat God has provided them. [Jesus said to the disciples:]\n14  “For it is 
 as if a man\, going on a journey\, summoned his slaves and entrusted his p
 roperty to them\;\n15  to one he gave five talents\, to another two\, to a
 nother one\, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. At once
 \n16  the one who had received the five talents went off and traded with t
 hem and made five more talents.\n17  In the same way\, the one who had the
  two talents made two more talents.\n18  But the one who had received the 
 one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s mone
 y.\n19  After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled acco
 unts with them.\n20  Then the one who had received the five talents came f
 orward\, bringing five more talents\, saying\, ‘Master\, you handed over t
 o me five talents\; see\, I have made five more talents.’\n21  His master 
 said to him\, ‘Well done\, good and trustworthy slave\; you have been trus
 tworthy in a few things\; I will put you in charge of many things\; enter 
 into the joy of your master.’\n22  And the one with the two talents also c
 ame forward\, saying\, ‘Master\, you handed over to me two talents\; see\,
  I have made two more talents.’\n23  His master said to him\, ‘Well done\,
  good and trustworthy slave\; you have been trustworthy in a few things\; 
 I will put you in charge of many things\; enter into the joy of your maste
 r.’\n24  Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward\, 
 saying\, ‘Master\, I knew that you were a harsh man\, reaping where you di
 d not sow and gathering where you did not scatter\, 25  so I was afraid\, 
 and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.
 ’\n26  But his master replied\, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew\, did
  you\, that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter?
 \n27  Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers\, and on m
 y return I would have received what was my own with interest.\n28  So take
  the talent from him\, and give it to the one with the ten talents.\n29  F
 or to all those who have\, more will be given\, and they will have an abun
 dance\, but from those who have nothing\, even what they have will be take
 n away.\n30  As for this worthless slave\, throw him into the outer darkne
 ss\, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ ”\n \nAfter the S
 ermon\, Holy Communion will be offered. Come as you are\, the gift of the 
 Table of the Lord has been prepared as Jesus has requested and now we are 
 invited to the meal. Come to the table like Peter\, with more enthusiasm t
 han resolve and like James and John\, disappointed and the priorities of G

 days service.\nOn this final Sunday of the church year our gospel is Jesus
 ’ great story of judgment. In the end\, the faithful are those who served 
 Christ by ministering to those who are poor\, hungry\, naked\, sick\, or e
 stranged. In the first reading God is the shepherd who seeks the lost\, we
 ak\, and injured and feeds them with justice. We gather this day to celebr
 ate the reign of Christ and his victory over death\, yet we await the cons
 ummation of all things yet to come. Acknowledging Christ as our merciful r
 uler\, we go forth that his reign may be known in our loving words and dee
 ds.\n \nPrayer of the Day\nO God of power and might\, your Son shows us th
 e way of service\, and in him we inherit the riches of your grace. Give us
  the wisdom to know what is right and the strength to serve the world you 
 have made\, through Jesus Christ\, our Savior and Lord\, who lives and rei
 gns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and forever.\n \n \nAmen.
 \n \nFirst Reading: Ezekiel 34:11-16\, 20-24\nBecause Israel’s kings prove
 d to be bad shepherds\, Ezekiel declares that the Lord will assume the rol
 e of shepherd in Israel. The Lord will also set over them a shepherd-messi
 ah\, “my servant David\,” who will feed and care for the people.\nPsalm:  
 95:1-7a\nWe are the people of God’s pasture and the sheep of God’s han\n 
 \nSecond Reading:  Ephesians 1:15-23\nIn this passage\, God is praised for
  revealing ultimate divine power in raising Jesus from the dead. The resur
 rected\, exalted Christ is Lord of both the church and the entire universe
 \, now and in the age to come.\n \nGospel:  Matthew 25:31-46\nJesus compar
 es himself to a king who moves among his subjects to see how he is treated
 : what is done for the least of those who belong to his family is truly do
 ne for him. [Jesus said to the disciples:]\n31  “When the Son of Man comes
  in his glory and all the angels with him\, then he will sit on the throne
  of his glory.\n32  All the nations will be gathered before him\, and he w
 ill separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep fro
 m the goats\,\n33  and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goa
 ts at the left.\n34  Then the king will say to those at his right hand\, ‘
 Come\, you who are blessed by my Father\, inherit the kingdom prepared for
  you from the foundation of the world\,\n35  for I was hungry and you gave
  me food\, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink\, I was a stra
 nger and you welcomed me\,\n36  I was naked and you gave me clothing\, I w
 as sick and you took care of me\, I was in prison and you visited me.’\n37
   Then the righteous will answer him\, ‘Lord\, when was it that we saw you
  hungry and gave you food or thirsty and gave you something to drink?\n38 
  And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you or naked and 
 gave you clothing?\n39  And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison 
 and visited you?’\n40  And the king will answer them\, ‘Truly I tell you\,
  just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of m
 ine\, you did it to me.’\n41  Then he will say to those at his left hand\,
  ‘You who are accursed\, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for
  the devil and his angels\,\n42  for I was hungry and you gave me no food\
 , I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink\,\n43  I was a stranger a
 nd you did not welcome me\, naked and you did not give me clothing\, sick 
 and in prison and you did not visit me.’\n44  Then they also will answer\,
  ‘Lord\, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or na
 ked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’\n45  Then he will 
 answer them\, ‘Truly I tell you\, just as you did not do it to one of the 
 least of these\, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into 
 eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”\n \nAfter the Ser
 mon\, Holy Communion will be offered. Come as you are\, the gift of the Ta
 ble of the Lord has been prepared as Jesus has requested and now we are in
 vited to the meal. Come to the table like Peter\, with more enthusiasm tha

DESCRIPTION:The Advent season starts on Dec 3 and continues for four weeks 
 ending December 24\,\n \nAdvent is the preparation for the celebration of 
 the birth of Jesus at Christmas and also the preparation for the Second Co
 ming of Christ.\nTraditionally Advent Calendars are used to count down the
  days until Christmas by receiving a special treat for each day of Advent.
 \nDuring this period of Advent our members have traditionally used Advent 
 boxes to contribute to the  community.\nOur Advent Boxes focus on giving i
 nstead of receiving\, because God gave us a wonderful gift\, Jesus Christ.
  So each day of Advent a food or personal item is placed in a box. At the 
 end of Advent our boxes are then given to Reconciliation House to help wit
 h their food distribution to families in need. \n>Advent Boxes\n1. Select 
 a sturdy box suitable to contain all your items for the Advent Box.\n2. Yo
 u may want to cover your box with wrapping paper to make it more festive.
 \n3. Tape the picture of the Advent Wreath on the front of the box. Color 
 the picture if you wish.\n4. On the first day of Advent\,  November 27 pla
 ce your first item into the box.  Each day of Advent November 27 thru Dece
 mber 24 place an item in the box. The completed box will have 23 items.\n5
 . We will need to get the Advent Boxes to the Reconciliation House before 
 Advent ends\, so the items can be distributed to their clients\n6. If poss
 ible\, we hope you will add additional\, items to compensate for our endin
 g this project one week early.\n7. So we ask all Advent Boxes be brought t
 o the church by December 17 or taken to the Reconciliation House earlier.
