WELCOME!
Who we are: North Shore United Methodist Church is an inclusive community of faith
in Jesus Christ guided by the Holy Spirit. We are committed to providing support, heal-
ing, and inspiration to all. Our missions encompass worship, service, the arts, educa-
tion, and fellowship. We participate in interfaith activities that serve to further world
understanding and peace. We believe in the power of prayer and strive to be of help to
our members, our community and those in need.
Our guiding values: Love. Serve. Renew.
A Reconciling Congregation: NSUMC is a welcoming community of all, including the
LGBTQ community. If you identify as LGBTQ, you will find our congregation to be a
safe and nonjudgmental space for you and those dear to you. We have been a part of the
United Methodist Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) since 2015.
Newcomers, please fill out the “visitor’s square” at the back of the bulletin, tear off, and
place in the offering plate later in the service. We wish to get to know you and send you
information on church activities!
Children are welcome! If you have young children (infants to 3 years old), you are wel-
come to have them remain with you during the service. We also have a “children’s cor-
ner” in the rear of the narthex with puzzles, mazes and Lego blocks. Your child may al-
so be interested in using our activity bags which have books, coloring pages, and cray-
ons. These can be found in the blue bin by the “children’s corner” The older children are
invited to leave for Sunday school following “The Time with Young Christians.”
Fellowship time takes place after worship. Snacks and beverages are served in the nar-
thex or upstairs on Adult Forum Sundays.
Individual listening devices for improved sound are available in the narthex.

5Isaiah 6:1-13
1
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty;
and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphs were in attendance above him;
each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their
feet, and with two they flew. 3 And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4
The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house
filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips,
and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts!”
6
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the
altar with a pair of tongs. 7 The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: “Now that
this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.” 8 Then
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I; send me!” 9 And he said, “Go and say to this people:
‘Keep listening, but do not comprehend;
keep looking, but do not understand.’
10
Make the mind of this people dull,
and stop their ears,
and shut their eyes,
so that they may not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and comprehend with their minds,
and turn and be healed.”
611
Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said:
“Until cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is utterly desolate;
12
until the Lord sends everyone far away,
and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land.
13
Even if a tenth part remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak
whose stump remains standing
when it is felled.”
The holy seed is its stump.
