Scattered Sunday - Dec 27th Rest and Reflect
One of our regular rhythms for our Sunday Gatherings is to Scatter on the last Sunday of the month. This is also the last Sunday of the year when we take time to Rest and Reflect
Here is our Scattered Sunday Liturgy
Call to Worship
Psalm 126
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Confession
Most merciful God, I confess that I have sinned against you,
in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.
I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself,
I am truly sorry and humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me,
that I may delight in your will, and walk-in your ways, to the glory of your name.
AMEN

REST
Take time to just be with Jesus. Go on a walk. Find a quiet spot and sit. Do what you need to do in order to be with Jesus.
Be Still and listen
Share your heart. Thank God for who he is. Tell him how you see him at work. Enjoy being with him.
REFLECTION
Take a Moment
Ask yourself these questions:
What did I learn about my God in 2020?
What did I learn about myself in 2020?
What did I learn about my Family in 2020?
How have you seen God at work in you, Others, our Church?
