Join us in worship! Our scripture today is Luke 17:12-17, the story of the ten lepers. I am sharing today a sermon by B. B. King, which has a wonderful twist on the story. I cannot improve upon King's sermon, so I am sharing it in its entirety here.
Our hymns are "I will change your name" and "Where cross the crowded ways." Lyrics are here: https://www.invubu.com/music/show/song/D.J.-Butler/I-Will-Change-Your-Name.html and here: https://hymnary.org/text/where_cross_the_crowded_ways_of_life.

Our hymn this week is "O bless the Lord, my soul." Although this hymn is found in the hymnbook, I chose the version out of the musical, "Godspell," because it is more fun to sing. :)
Here are lyrics: https://www.allmusicals.com/lyrics/godspell/blessthelord.htm. Give it a try! Remember, the one who sings, prays twice!
