Well, good morning to you all. great to see you here this morning. Just a couple of items before we get underway, looking at the word this morning. as we mentioned last Sunday, Marlene Brogie's memorial service will be here at the church at 11 o'clock on Friday of, of this week.
So, that's September 23rd, this coming Friday at 11 o'clock, and I think we may be set up for food with the reception that'll be after the memorial service. But if you would like to help with that and have not been able to sign up for that, look for Lynette Kumamoto or Ruby Kimball and see if there's any needs with regard to food for the reception following the memorial service. Also, we're happy to have in our service the legendary Ron Needham and Emily. could you guys stand?
Ron and Emily need him. Oh, there's Ron. I guess Emily left. So, well, welcome.
they are charter members of Cornerstone, from the days of its founding, well over 30 years ago, and Ron was the chairman of our elder board for a number of years, and both of them have been a great blessing to our church body, and they, have marked our church deeply in ways that you guys still are living in the good of, so we're happy to have them with us this morning. Well, The sermon today will be a little bit different, but hopefully you'll be able to roll with it as we go. last week, In our sermon from Hebrews chapter 10, the writer of Hebrews delivered a call to us to draw near to God in prayer and also in worship, and we're gonna carry on with that theme of drawing near to God in worship over the next few weeks. And in our effort to do that, we're going to be focusing on the Book of Psalms over the next couple of months or so, preaching some messages from some of the Psalms that we find in the Psalter, which is the Book of Psalms....
