Scripture Reading Genesis 1:1-2:25 When God began to create the heavens and the earth— the earth was without shape or form, it was dark over the deep sea, and God’s wind swept over the waters— G od said,
“Let there be light.” And so light appeared. G od saw how good the light was. God separated the light from the darkness. G od named the light Day and the darkness Night. There was evening and there was morning: the first day.
G od said, “Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters to separate the waters from each other.” G od made the dome and separated the waters under the dome from the waters above the dome. And it happened in that way. G od named the dome Sky. There was evening and there was morning: the second day.
G od said, “Let the waters under the sky come together into one place so that the dry land can appear.” And that’s what happened. G od named the dry land Earth, and he named the gathered waters Seas. God saw how good it was. G od said, “Let the earth grow plant life: plants yielding seeds and fruit trees bearing fruit with seeds inside it, each according to its kind throughout the earth.” And that’s what happened. The earth produced plant life: plants yielding seeds, each according to its kind, and trees bearing fruit with seeds inside it, each according to its kind. God saw how good it was.
T here was evening and there was morning: the third day.
God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night.
They will mark events, sacred seasons, days, and years. T hey will be lights in the dome of the sky to shine on the earth.” And that’s what happened.
God made the stars and two great lights: the larger light to rule over the day and the smaller light to rule over the night. G od put them in the dome of the sky to shine on the earth, t o rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw how good it was.
T here was evening and there was morning: the fourth day.
G od said, “Let the waters swarm with living things, and let birds fly above the earth up in the dome of the sky.” G od created the great sea animals and all the tiny living things that swarm in the waters, each according to its kind, and all the winged birds, each according to its kind. God saw how good it was. T hen God blessed them: “Be fertile and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
T here was evening and there was morning: the fifth day.
God said, “Let the earth produce every kind of living thing: livestock, crawling things, and wildlife.” And that’s what happened. G od made every kind of wildlife, every kind of livestock, and every kind of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw how good it was. Then God said, “Let us make humanity in our image to resemble us so that they may take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and all the crawling things on earth.”
G od created humanity in God’s own image, in the divine image God created them, m ale and female God created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and master it. Take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds in the sky, and everything crawling on the ground.” T hen God said, “I now give to you all the plants on the earth that yield seeds and all the trees whose fruit produces its seeds within it. These will be your food. T o all wildlife, to all the birds in the sky, and to everything crawling on the ground—to everything that breathes—I give all the green grasses for food.” And that’s what happened. G od saw everything he had made: it was supremely good. There was evening and there was morning: the sixth day.
The heavens and the earth and all who live in them were completed. O n the sixth day God completed all the work that he had done, and on the seventh day God rested from all the work that he had done. G od blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all the work of creation. T his is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
Let All Things Now Living Let All Things Now Living Katherine D. Davis(1939). Tune Welsh folk tune. ©(1939) reprinted with permission under One License #A-731110 all rights reserved. Verse 1 Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving To God the Creator triumphantly raise Who fashioned and made us protected and stayed us, Who guides us and leads to the end of our days God’s banners are o'er us, God’s light goes before us A pillar of fire shining forth in the night, till shadows have vanished And darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into light
Verse 2 The law God enforces; the stars in their courses the sun in its orbit obediently shine; The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, the deeps of the ocean Proclaim God divine. We too should be voicing our love and rejoicing With glad adoration a song let us raise, till all things now living Unite in thanksgiving to God in the highest, Hosanna and praise!
Second Part of Scripture Reading Genesis 2:4b-2:25 On the day the LORD God made earth and sky— before any wild plants appeared on the earth, and before any field crops grew, because the LORD God hadn’t yet sent rain on the earth and there was still no human being to farm the fertile land, t hough a stream rose from the earth and watered all of the fertile land— t he LORD God formed the human from the topsoil of the fertile land and blew life’s breath into his nostrils.
The human came to life. T he LORD God planted a garden in Eden in the east and put there the human he had formed. I n the fertile land, the LORD God grew every beautiful tree with edible fruit, and also he grew the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A river flows from Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides into four headwaters. The name of the first river is the Pishon. It flows around the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. That land’s gold is pure, and the land also has sweet-smelling resins and gemstones. T he name of the second river is the Gihon. It flows around the entire land of Cush. T he name of the third river is the Tigris, flowing east of Assyria; and the name of the fourth river is the Euphrates.
The LORD God took the human and settled him in the garden of Eden to farm it and to take care of it. The LORD God commanded the human,
“Eat your fill from all of the garden’s trees; b ut don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because on the day you eat from it, you will die!”
Then the LORD God said, “It’s not good that the human is alone. I will make him a helper that is perfect for him.” So the LORD God formed from the fertile land all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky and brought them to the human to see what he would name them. The human gave each living being its name. T he human named all the livestock, all the birds in the sky, and all the wild animals. But a helper perfect for him was nowhere to be found.
S o the LORD God put the human into a deep and heavy sleep, and took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh over it. W ith the rib taken from the human, the LORD God fashioned a woman and brought her to the human being. T he human said, “This one finally is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She will be called a woman b ecause from a man she was taken.”
T his is the reason that a man leaves his father and mother and embraces his wife, and they become one flesh. T he two of them were naked, the man and his wife, but they weren’t embarrassed.

WINGS Food Drive WINGS (Women in Need Growing Stronger) is a non-profit organization in our community that offers a second-stage shelter, affordable housing, and support for women with children who have experienced family violence. In May Brenda J. organized a food drive for the WINGS shelter. I knew I could make a much greater difference if I had some help, so I put out the challenge to all of you - to raise $1000 in donations. We raised a total amount of $1826.80. Thank you for your assistance and generosity! Brenda Jones, Member of the Joint Board at Millwoods Community Church

This will be held the last Wednesday of each month at 7:15pm. Tuesday Night Supper Due to good reviews of our Maundy Thursday shared meal, we’re offering an opportunity to share a meal every Tuesday evening at 6:00. Just prepare your own supper and click on this link just before 6:00 on any Tuesday from April 28th to June 30. There will be time to just check in with each other and Pastor Aaron will have a few questions for you to talk about during the meal. We should be finished around 6:30 or 6:45.
