This morning's message is titled, "There's Lots of Hungry People Out There!" The video begins with the Scripture from Matthew 14:13-22.

Since it was much too hot to hold in-person worship today, here's a video of this morning's message. The title is "Lessons from a Potter", and the Scripture references are Jeremiah 18:1-6 and Isaiah 64:8.

We used this song video, from Brandon Heath, this morning to help illustrate the theme of the service.

Good morning & Happy Father's Day! The Scripture for this morning is II Timothy 1:1:-14; Pastor Kelly's message is titled, "Genuine Faith and Loyalty". Cathy King closes the service playing a traditional hymn called, "Day by Day".

While Pastor Kelly is on vacation, we're sharing a worship service shared by Bishop Webb and the Cabinet of the Upper New York Annual Conference.

This is Peace with Justice Sunday for United Methodists. Pastor Kelly's message is titled, "Bro, He's Human"; following the message, Cathy King plays "His Eye Is on the Sparrow".

Pastor Kelly's message is entitled "Bonding and Boundaries for Living Your Best Life Now". Cathy King follows, playing "It Is Well with My Soul". See below the video for a copy of the discussion questions featured in the sermon.

  BONDING

1.  Reflect on your household growing up.  Did you bond in healthy ways with your parents, siblings, or others?   Whom did you bond with in unhealthy ways?
2.  Look at your life today.   Which relationships feel the healthiest?   Which ones feel unhealthy?        
3.  Be honest with yourself.   Do you have difficulty finding and deepening healthy relationships?    And have you tolerated relationships that are not good or healthy for you?  Why are you doing that?
4. Think about how you can shift so you spend more time with the healthy people in your life.
5.  Consider what you can start doing that will make you closer to God, some practice that will make that relationship more meaningful.  

BOUNDARIES
We must identify which boundaries we most need to work on.  

1.  Do you need to work on boundaries in your body?  God calls it our vessel (I Thessalonians 4:4).   Do you set limits so you do not overeat?   Sleep away too much of your days?  Work far too much?   Can you set boundaries so no one abuses you physically or sexually?   Is your body wholly yours – and are you in charge of it right now in healthy ways?  
2. Can you set boundaries so your feelings are yours and you own your choices?   We are each responsible for making decisions about what is right or best in our lives, with God’s help.  Do you lose your voice?   Waffle on your decisions?  Are you allowing others to shame you, or manipulate you?   Are you prepared to take back control and freely express your feelings?  Will you make known your choices, even if others push back against you?
3. Can you set boundaries on your attitude?   People in our lives have expectations of us, these can be realistic and motivating.   But if we don’t agree with others’ ideas and expectations, there can be pressure and even conflict.  Can you set a firm boundary and maintain your sense of inner peace despite others feeling disappointed or disapproving?   Can you avoid being a victim – someone who says, “THEY are making me feel anxious, upset or sad?”   Instead can you be fully in charge of your attitude, staying separate or apart from their feelings or moods?          

This is Pentecost Sunday! Cathy King plays a medley of "Breathe on Me, Breath of God" and "Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart"; Pastor Kelly shares chapter 2 of the book of Acts.

This week's service begins with Cathy King playing "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" -- with lyrics so you can sing along -- followed by Pastor Kelly's message, "Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No". The service concludes with "Love Lifted Me".

Here's a reminder that we can always depend on God.
