Just a reminder to everyone and even for the parking lot service at-tendees: if you are not feeling well, or you are experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms, or even cold like symptoms, PLEASE STAY HOME and we will see you again when you are feeling better and no longer dis-playing any symptoms. Stay home even if you think it is something other than the coronavirus. Thank you for thinking of the safety and health of your brothers and sisters in Christ. How Can I Join In Worship?

1. You can come inside the building and join us in worship. 2. For those that are not comfortable coming inside you may listen to the service on your car radio by tuning to 89.9 FM, but you must be in our parking lot to be able to receive the signal. 3. Our first service will be broadcast on Facebook Live at 9:00 a.m. 4. Later in the day, our first service will be uploaded to Youtube. Please keep checking throughout the day to see if the video has been uploaded. Some days are easier than others to upload the video to Youtube. Thank you for your patience.

Carlisle First Church Prayer Chains: Carlisle First currently has two options for participating in the prayer chain. The first one is you are able to receive a text message on your phone. The second one is receiving a telephone call with the pray-er request from someone and then passing it on to the next person. We have updated the second option and now you will not have to call anyone with the request. If you are cur-rently receiving a phone call from someone in the church, you will now receive a robo call with the same message which goes out via text. All numbers will be automatically dialed and the request will be given. If you would like to participate in the prayer chain, please let Pastor Mike know. Thanks for praying for others!

Scripture Today: Luke 10: 25-37 25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " 28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own don-key, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra ex-pense you may have.' 36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
