just in case
For our 9:45 Genesis worshipers who are getting to know
the Sanctuary: the best way to reach restrooms during the
service is to go to the Narthex (entry doors for the Sanctuary on Church Street). There is one restroom available
in the Narthex, and more in Allen Hall, adjacent to our
Sanctuary; our ushers can direct you. We ask you enter and
exit through the back of the room to minimize distractions
in worship.

recycle your bulletin

8:15am & 9:45am worshipers can help the church be better
stewards of our resources and environment. If you do not
want to keep this extremely handy bulletin, just hand it to
one of our ushers as you leave. The bulletins are reused
for the 11:00am worship service, and recycled on Monday
morning.

housing for the homeless

We're continuing to work with local partners to house the
homeless in Central Florida. As Dr. Swanson reported in a
recent sermon, much progress has been made, but there is
still more to do.
The Central Florida Supportive Housing Program (CFSH)
helps the chronically homeless in Orange, Osceola and
Seminole Counties be successful, long-term renters. Your
rental units can help individuals take charge of their lives
and make your community a better place to live.
For more information on promoting your property to CFSH
tenants, please contact Todd Luna at todd.luna@hsncfl.org
or 407.893.0133 ext. 621. For more details, visit
fpco.org/homeless.

NOTES

TRADITIONAL

The authors of the various books of the Bible were

clearly aware of earlier manuscripts and writings of
previous authors of Scripture. For example, the words
of Isaiah in our opening Call to Worship use some of
the very same phrases David used in the writing of
Psalm 103. Isaiah, who lived several hundred years
after King David, was clearly very aware of the Psalms.
Our opening hymn, All Creatures of Our God and King, was
written in 1225 AD and draws its material from Psalm
148. St. Francis of Assisi is credited with writing this
text which was translated into English in 1919.
St. Francis was known for his love of nature and
animals and had an affinity for communicating with
them. Youll note the first three verses of the hymn
sing of a perfect creation. Verse four introduces the
Fall as forgiveness, pain, and sorrow enter our song. Our
hymnal contains five of the seven verses. The final
stanza concludes with a doxological praise to Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit as the whole created order sings
praise to our great God. In preparation for singing the
opening hymn, read through Psalm 148.
