The February Faithful Ones are designated to support those affected by the federal government shutdown. This includes federal employees and contractors not receiving a paycheck due to the shutdown, though some have been ordered to work. These individuals are experiencing anxiety about their financial and employment future, and are having to make hard decisions about how to pay the rent and utilities, and provide food and medical care for their families. Network of Community Ministries and North Dallas Shared Ministries are two local organizations providing assistance for people in need, including food, rent, utilities and/or clothing. If you wish to offer additional funds for these ministries, please use an envelope found in the pew. Checks should be made out to King of Glory with Faithful Ones in the memo. Draw Us In the Spirit s Tether Harold Friedell Draw us in the Spirit s tether; for when humbly in Thy name two or three are met together, Thou art in the midst of them: Alleluia! Alleluia! Touch we now Thy garment s hem. As the brethren used to gather in the name of Christ to sup, then with thanks to God the Father break the bread and bless the cup, Alleluia! Alleluia! So knit Thou our friendship up. All our meals and all our living make as sacraments of Thee, that by caring, helping, giving, we may true disciples be. Alleluia! Alleluia! We will serve Thee faithfully. Percy Dearmer The congregation may stand. 4
