Children’s Message
Word
Mark 13:14-37
“But in those days, after that suffering,
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from heaven,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory. Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
“But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.”
Listen to what the Spirit is saying.
Thanks be to God.

The Creed
We have faith in God who lives among us. We are not alone, we live in God’s world:
We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God. We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God’s presence, to live with respect in creation,
to love and serve others, to seek peace and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God!

Special Thanks
Deep appreciation from all of HSLC goes to Jonathan C of Lorica quartet, as he leads the audio mixing of all the musical talents this community collectively offers.
Numerous instrumentalists, singers, and even lip syncers (you get to guess who is doing what!) contribute to HSLC’s distanced musical offerings. All are welcome to participate by adding your voice or image, and there are many other opportunities to contribute to worship through photos and videos in which only speaking is needed. Special thanks in the preparation of this liturgy to Jeff C, Lisa H, Malia J, Sherri R, and Pastor Katy who met in September to do the base recording, and all those who made contributions from afar. Appreciation also goes to the community of St. John the Baptist Episcopal, West Seattle, and The Rev. Kate Welsch, Rector, for the use of instruments for this worship service and in the coming months.
