May 22 Memorial day is one of those occasions that has many meanings. For many it’s the official start of summer. For others it’s a chance for family gatherings. As a national holiday, Memorial Day is a special day which we gather to worship. We gather on a somber holiday. We remember with sadness those we have loved and lost. Let us not glorify the conflicts and violence that tear our loved ones from us. Let us, rather, give glory to God, who calls us to use our freedom peaceably. Our God is a God of all nations and peoples. May our worship of God unite rather than divide. Thank you for joining us today! In case you weren’t aware, this is just one of three churches that make up the Rock Hall United Methodist Charge. We share one mission, to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of Rock Hall and the world. We long to see our entire community transformed by the power of God. This is why we share and show God’s love by serving our neighbors and telling the story of how God transformed our lives. If you have any questions about our church or want to discuss your faith journey, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. My email is gary@yourrockhall.church and my office telephone is 410-639-2144. Thank you again for joining us. Pastor Gary Order of Worship Welcome

Benediction
Life is much more than an accident. Wherever I go, I believe God needs me there. Wherever I am, I trust God has put me there. He has a purpose for me being there - Christ, alive in me, wants to do something through me, no matter where I am. I believe this and go in His grace and His love and His power. Amen.
If you would like someone to pray with you, please come and meet one of our ministry leaders at the altar at the end of the service.
Message Notes Luke #23: What are We Waiting For
The Story: God Provides
What shapes our ministry in Rock Hall
_______________: Christianity is a team sport.
Only God owns the ministry
Our faith isn’t just something between “me and God”.
Read you as y’all.
_______________: Good starts don’t guarantee strong finishes.
_______________: Everyone (even Jesus and the Apostles) needs rest.
_______________: When God opens the door, walk in.
What you have is less important than what you do with what you have.
