PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE – Rev. Chad McGinnis
 
SCRIPTURE – Two Teachings from Jesus – Allison LeBaron

From Luke 21:
 
He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
 
And from Matthew 17:
 
[Jesus answered,] “Truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
 
SPECIAL MUSIC AND OFFERTORY – “Gonna Build a Mountain” by L. Bricusse and A. Newley Offered by the Jazz Bandits

NEXT Food First Sundays: TODAY and June 4. THANK YOU for your monthly donations for the Gainesville Community Ministry’s Food Bank. Since January, the congregation has generously given over one ton of nonperishable foods! Click here to donate online.

Sunday Seminar – “Your Gut Microbiome, Health, and Emotional Wellbeing” with Bruce Stevens. People are composed of equal numbers of human cells and bacterial cells with intermingling activities. We co-evolved to be metaorganisms whose diet and behaviors alter our microbiome, which in turn steers medical and emotional states such as cardiovascular disease, depression, and anxiety. Even certain COVID-19 symptoms result from virus disruption of the gut microbiome. Bruce Stevens, UF College of Medicine professor emeritus and UCG member, will discuss the gut microbiome including recent human studies from his own lab. Join us in Reimer Hall or via Zoom. Zoom Meeting ID: 829 6457 0385 Passcode: 1624
