SCRIPTURE 2 Jude (NIV) But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, In the last times there be scoffers who follow their own ungodly desires. These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!

The Great Thanksgiving for WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. You have made from one every nation and people to live on all the face of the earth. And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven we praise your name and join in their unending hymn: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection you gave birth to your Church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. He commissioned us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth and to make disciples of all nations, and today his family in all the world is joining at his holy table. On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. When the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith. Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ come again. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may renew our communion with your Church throughout the world, and strengthen it in every nation and among every people to witness faithfully in your name. By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory, and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, all honor and glory is yours, almighty Father, now and forever. Amen. 3 SERVING THE BREAD AND CUP

4 MISSION OF THE MONTH Beth-El FARMWORKER MINISTRY MISSION MOMENT Kathy Dain 8:30 & 10:00 Sunday, October 21 Every day at Beth-El there is a bee hive of activity and languages within our doors. Tuesday s food pantry is by far the busiest day of the week with lines frequently stretched out to the farthest reaches of the parking lot. There are Haitians, African Americans, Latinos, Anglos, even several Russians who partake of the services provided by the mission. The pace to serve everyone is frenetic. Yet, in the midst of all this activity, the day begins with staff and volunteers in a moment of prayer and fellowship with the reminder to treat everyone who enters our doors with respect and dignity. This is not always easy, especially for someone like me who is used to doing everything decently and in order. Some days frustration abounds. Who among us would long to spend hours in line for meager rations? It s hot; sometimes we have very little to give, and sometimes we run out of resources before the day is over. There is the lunchtime rush as workers from the local packing houses dash in on their break, and the elderly who line up outside our door at the crack of dawn. Since the beginning of 2018, over 20,000 families have been served through the mission s hunger relief efforts.
