Opening Hymns:
Blest Be the Ties That Bind 557
Breathe on me Breath of God 420

Scripture Reading:
Ezekiel 37:1-10

Message:
God does many wonders. He created the world and all its inhabitants and He watches over us even when we disobey Him. In this scripture we see a miraculous work of God through the prophet Ezekiel. A whole valley of dried bones is transformed into a live flesh and blood army of people. This scripture may be a symbol of God bringing life to His people and bringing the two divided kingdoms back together. It may be an account that Ezekiel witnessed. Each possibility is miraculous. Whether it is physical life and healing, or spiritual healing from the Lord it is a beautiful precious miracle. Thankfully it is not hard to imagine that the creator of the world giving us new life… physically and/or spiritually.

Time of Prayer
Dear Lord, thank You for creating life, and healing our lives when we get hurt spiritually or physically. Amen

The Lord’s Prayer

Closing Hymn

May the Lord bless you and keep you: May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." Amen.

Go in peace, and serve the Lord
Thanks be to God
