The Service of the Word
THE SCRIPTURE READING Micah 6:1-8 Jerry Gosselin
Hear what the LORD says:
Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the LORD, and you enduring foundations of the earth;
for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
“O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me!
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of slavery;
and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
O my people, remember now what King Balak of Moab devised, what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the LORD.”
“With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? -NRSVANTHEM Offertory John Ness Beck

Mission Statement: The purpose of the Ocean Park Association is to affirm the traditions and spiritual
heritage of which we are heirs, through a summer assembly program where Christian worship, principles and
ideals are at the focus; where diversity is celebrated and the dignity of all is embraced and respected; where
the natural beauty of our seaside resort is conserved and enhanced; and where programs centered on
religion, education, recreation and culture provide opportunities for individual growth and family enrichment.
Temple History: The Temple was built by Free Will Baptists during a six-week period in the summer of 1881;
it was dedicated on August 2nd of that year, which was also the first day of the Assembly Program in Ocean
Park. The octagonal structure represents an architectural style popular at the time. It seats up to 750 people,
and is the site of most cultural events.
The Temple is open weekday mornings for meditation and observation.
