Good morning to one and all as we gather to worship our Lord and Savior!
Good morning, Jim!
Good morning on this windy day.
Munching breakfast quickly this morning. Good morning all
Good morning, Dave! We think you are the one in this week’s mystery photo!
What with all that hair?
Good morning church family … happy to be alive another day and to join all of you in worship!
Hello all!
Good morning all as I start my Thanksgiving quarantine!
I hope you aren’t sick, Holly.
Good to see you, Joe!
No, just don’t want to be alone on Thanksgiving, so quarantining so our our local family of seven can gather
News from JIP!
I have never seen Jip more excited!
Thank you, JIP!
Oh good morning all
Good morning, Solange!
Thank you JIP for letting us hang with you brother. Your a hoot
Oh fill me with Holy Spirit this morning
Good morning, Claire!
It gorgeous
Beautiful voices!! Alleluia!
fire in presence of God
A bit Gregorian chant-like in places …
Thank you to our beautiful, choral quartet:
Jamille Brewster
Austin Cody
Miranda Rowland
Connor Stout
It means so much to hear them!
I love Jesus forever
Excellent!
Merci.
Indeed!
All too familiar!
Or we say sharing through our tithe to the church is enough …
This is a tough passage to contemplate, yet Matt, you have shined a great light on it! Thank you so much!
That passage has always puzzled me, so the explanation of the third servant being punished for not trying finally makes some sense to me
This message is just what I needed this morning. Be brave in sharing what God has given.
Our prayer is for courage!
Autumn colored socks this mornings, Matt!
A talent you have: reminding us to pay attention to details. Like socks!
Yes, friends, be brave in the sharing.
Thanks Pastor Matt
Great word you spoke Cousin Matt Matthews thank you…Amen
Play it, Guitar Man.
Thank you to the Gathering Band: Chris Hartley, Sam Haupt, Andrea Pope, and Jason Pope!
The music is wonderful!
One of my all-time favorite hymns! This is a great adaptation
Thank you for the explanation. I had gotten hung up on the sneaky ways the money had been earned. So I was puzzled by the ending… Matt focused on our talents and our use of our talents. Thanks for the clarity.
Me too. #3 didn’t steal the talent, but returned what he had been given to the master, so I didn’t understand why he was punished
God of Grace, hear our prayer! Amen!
Thank you, Joe Grant and Brendan Barker!
I like their duet. I liked all the combinations of music!
Thank you for the sermon. Bless those of you who work to put the word of God to his flock
Thank you for broadcasting this service! I always am always filled with joy from participating in the sharing of the worship service
Stay very cool, David Dilley. Miss you.
Miss the face to face a lot!!
Thank you First Pres CU staff
Will have to google Clerambault since I’m not familiar with this composer!
Me neither!
Thanks for this wonderful time together today and Matt Matthews for wonderful message this morning. Good words to live by. Let’s leave here with our heads held high hearts full of love and joy. Have a blessed and safe week everyone.
Just noticed Brendan is using an iPad instead of sheet music
Wave of the future
I guess you don’t have to turn pages that way!
So well
Thank you everyone for bringing us another meaningful service.
A little dense missing this detail …
