ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sunday, Oct. 26th Special Gobin Family Meal Menu
Set following the Service on Commitment Sunday
Following the service on Sunday, Oct. 26th, Chef Scott Thede and company
will prepare a special Gobin Family meal. The meal will include roast beef,
roasted potatoes, green beans, bread/roll, dessert, and drinks. The meal is
being taken care of by a donor at no cost to the church. So, come and join
our Gobin family for a nice meal following the service on Oct. 26th. Please
call or email our secretary, Denise, at 658-6010 or [email protected],
and let her know how many from your family will plan to attend. Even if
you don't communicate with us, everyone is welcome to attend this Gobin Family meal.
Become a Gobin Partner!
In an effort to incorporate DePauw students who attend Gobin into our
congregational family, we are reintroducing the Gobin Partners program. Hosts are encouraged to provide general companionship by
hosting the student for dinner, giving them a quiet place to study or
treats before finals...it is up to you. Those interested in hosting should
contact Lottie Barcus (765)720-7786 / [email protected] or
Maureen Langdoc (765) 365-2269 [email protected].
Fruitful Congregations Reading
Pastor Bryan and the Fruitful Congregations team will be reading a
book each month from September through March. As a fellow participant in the life of Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church, we'd like to
invite you to join us. There are no assignments. No tests. Just an invitation to join us in the reading as we all seek God's direction for the future of Gobin. Soon we’ll be starting Direct Hit: Aiming Real Leaders at
the Mission Field. Our FCJ Team will leave copies of the first two
books in the church office, so please check with Denise to see if there
is a copy of a book available for you to read. You can also order the
books online at Amazon.com or Cokesbury.
GOBIN NOW HAS ONLINE GIVING THROUGH EASY TITHE
We are excited to announce that you can now make your donations to
Gobin online on our website at www.gobinumc.org or via text message
from your smart phones and electronic devices. If texting, please text

Morning Prayer:
Loving God, you have kept me through the night, and your love holds me
this morning. Help me to find, in the midst of the day’s responsibilities
and worries a place within for quiet and calm. Give me eyes to see the
beauty of the earth in field and flower. Give me ears to hear the music of
birds and other composers. Even as I consider my needs, I celebrate and
give thanks for your abundant provisions. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Evening Prayer:
Thank you, O God, for the day as it has been. I give to you this night
whatever is left undone, asking for your forgiveness and grace. I give to
you this night all that has been accomplished, asking for the gift of rest
and peace. Now help me to cease all striving that I may sleep. In faith, I
cast my cares upon you, knowing you will not forget me through these
night hours. You have inscribed my name on the palms of your hands. In
gratitude, in Christ, I pray. Amen

Welcome to Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church
We are so excited to have you in worship with us today!
Our Mission
The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ
for the transformation of the world.
Our Vision
Gobin is the crossroads where everyone from the community,
campus, and congregation is welcomed and invited to come together
to know God, to serve with love and genuine compassion,
and to build relationships founded on Christ’s teachings and examples.
All children are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the duration of the
worship service. Alternatively, a nursery is available for ages 4 and under.
Children will also be invited to a time of “children’s church” immediately after a
“Time For the Child in Each of Us.”

God, we trust that you have our best interests at heart. As we hear the reading of your
Word, remind us that we have been raised with Christ, and inspire us to seek the things
that are above, through the power of your Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Joel 2:25-29
The formal time of worship has ended, so now the service of the church truly begins.
Go with courage and passion to live out this big, bold vision that God has laid before
us. And don’t keep it to yourself. Spread it around so that all may see who God truly is.
Amen.

Call to Worship
Men and women, old and young, see God’s visions, dream God’s dreams.
Young and old, women and men, feel the Spirit fall like rain.
People everywhere on earth, join creation, shout for joy:
Praise is due you, O God,
for all that you do,
for all that you have done,
for all that you promise to do.
You are invited to fill out the connection card located in the pew rack in front of
you. Prayer requests can also be communicated on the connection card.
Please place these cards in the offering plate later in the service.
*Opening Prayer
Teddy Shuck
God, as we walk through the world each day, we see many self-centered visions of life.
We are tempted to do everything for short-term gain and to give no thought to eternal
glory. We ask you, O Lord, to give us the courage to live by your grand vision and not
the small visions of this world. Keep our hearts ever focused on Christ, the one through
whom you revealed yourself to the world. Amen.
*Hymn # 159
“Lift High the Cross”
Confession/Pardon
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and
deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved
you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly
sorry and we humbly repent, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us
and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of
your Name. Amen.

Offering Prayer
Whatever challenges we face, O God, we have also known your many blessings—
threshing floors full of grain, vats overflowing with wine and oil.
Accept these gifts as tokens of our thankfulness, that they may be used to prophesy in
your spirit and to share your bounty with those in need. Amen.
At Gobin Church, we celebrate Holy Communion during our 10:30am worship
service on the first Sunday of each month. However, if you wish to receive
communion on any other Sunday (including today), you are invited to Peace Chapel
immediately following the service for a brief celebration of Holy Communion.
Passing the Peace
The Peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
