HYMN NO.516 “Come, You Thankful People, Come”
RESPONSIVE APPROACH TO WORSHIP
Have you ever felt that some of life’s challenges are just a little too much?
Sure, there are lots of times I would like to step out of the moment and move on into something more pleasant. . . doesn’t everybody, now and then. . .
What if I told you there are options available . . .
Like what?
Well, if you think about what the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians when he was challenged, perhaps you can find some ideas to apply in your life.
Like what?
He had serious health problems, he was arrested and thrown in jail and beaten because of what he was teaching. . . And yet he made light of it all because there were more positive things to think about. . . He found great comfort in his faith that God would help him through it all.
Sure. . . but he was special chosen by God. . .
And so are we all. That’s why Jesus taught us to pray like this,
Our Father…Amen.
HYMN NO. 361 “Small Things Count”

Being a “Caring” Community…
Lambeth United will be a place with an open door policy in regards to the sharing of information about members and adherents with other members and adherents. Within the constraints of the law, we will publish the names of those in hospital in the bulletin and hold them up in prayer. This will be done only with the express permission of the person, or their immediate family. If you would appreciate the prayers of the community, or to have the congregation informed of a hospital stay, or other life celebration, then please let one of the staff know, or use the little cards in the pews to indicate a desire for prayers. We will do our utmost to ensure that privacy is respected. And we will do our utmost to ensure that Lambeth United continues to be a community that shows respect, love and support for everyone.

VISITING LAMBETH UNITED?
RELAX: You can be assured you will never be centred out, never embarrassed. Our service is user friendly. Just follow the bulletin or the verbal instructions
DRESS: As you wish. Remember that God looks at the heart. God loves variety.
KIDS: We try to have something for every child. Questions? Ask an usher. Ask the Minister
SING: Music is a big part of our service. But we recognize that some folks don’t enjoy singing. That’s fine. Enjoy the words!
DRINKS: Are on the house. After the service linger awhile. Enjoy the fellowship.
TELL: Use the information cards provided in the pews to tell us your needs. Put the cards on the offering plate.
OFFERING: If you are a guest with us, please don’t feel obligated to participate in the offering. This is a time when regular members give to God and God’s work through Lambeth United. If you are a guest with us today, this service is a gift to you.
Lambeth United, from time to time, records events and worship in audio, still pictures, and video recordings. These are used mostly in house to archive events and the many people who worship and gather in this place. From time to time, these events may be posted on the church’s YouTube Channel. If you have a strong aversion to you or your child being photographed, please speak to one of the ushers, or one of the ministers prior to the event.
