Please stand with me as we read the Call to Worship
Leader: Praise the Lord, O my soul!
People: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
Leader: He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
People: He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
Leader: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
People: as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
ALL: Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Adapted from Psalm 103
Message
Reading and examining the Bible under the guidance of the preacher.
“don’t worry about Tomorrow”
BIBLE READING: Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Welcome to Community West Church!
Dear Friends,
We believe the church is a special community of people joined by their hope in Jesus Christ. We know this hope has not always been apparent to those who have been hurt by church, or for whom church seems unnecessary or irrelevant. However, we believe everybody needs a community to which to belong, and we hope you will find our community a trusted context to continue your spiritual journey.
Protecting Our Children and Youth:
To ensure a safe and secure environment for our children and youth, Community West Church requires adult volunteers who wish to serve these populations must participate in the church for a minimum of six months, pass a “Proud to Protect” online course in recognizing and reporting child abuse, and pass a background check. Youth volunteers who serve our children are required to take a certification training facilitated by the Director of Family Ministries. A complete copy of our Child Protection Plan is available upon request.
CELEBRATE - Commit to our weekly Sunday Gathering.
Our Sunday service is a time for us to be reminded of God’s love and forgiveness, and to respond with our worship, obedience, and trust. we intend our service to be uplifting, hones, participatory, multi-sensory, biblically-based, and gospel-centered.
CONNECT - Commit to a Home Group.
Smaller groups are where the best of life happens at Community West. All small groups are built on three pillars: growing in God’s word, developing authentic friendships, and serving and getting involved in outreach.
CONTRIBUTE - Join a Sunday team and give financially.
None of us begins to belong to a community until we have a chance to share what we have to give. We invite you to share your time, by serving on a Sunday team, and your gifts by giving financially to the mission of the church.
