Chelsey Hedglin Scripture Reading: Daniel 5:5-12: Rev. John Hill Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and began writing on the plaster of the wall of the royal palace, next to the lampstand. The king was watching the hand as it wrote. Then the king’s face turned pale, and his thoughts terrified him. His limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together. The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners; and the king said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever can read this writing and tell me its interpretation shall be clothed in purple, have a chain of gold around his neck, and rank third in the kingdom.” Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king the interpretation. Then King Belshazzar became greatly terrified and his face turned pale, and his lords were perplexed.The queen, when she heard the discussion of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall. The queen said, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts terrify you or your face grow pale. There is a man in your kingdom who is endowed with a spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father he was found to have enlightenment, understanding, and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and diviners, because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” Sermon: Staying Receptive in Unfamiliar Times: Rev.

Chelsey Hedglin Pouring of Water Songs: Take My Life, and Let It Be and By Faith Take My Life, and Let It Be Verse 1 Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise, Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love; Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee, Verse 2 Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King; Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee, Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold; Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose, Verse 3 Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart; it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne, Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure-store. Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee, By Faith Verse 1 By faith we see the hand of God In the light of Creation’s grand design In the lives of those who prove God’s faithfulness Who walk by faith and not by sight Verse 2 By faith our fathers roamed the earth With the power of God’s promise in their hearts Of a holy city built by God’s own hand A place where peace and justice reign Chorus We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on God our soul’s reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We’ll walk by faith and not by sight Verse 3 By faith the prophets saw a day When the longed-for Messiah would appear With the power to break the chains of sin and death And rise triumphant from the grave Verse 4 By faith the church was called to go In the power of the Spirit to the lost To deliver captives and to preach good news In every corner of the earth Chorus Verse 5 By faith the mountain shall be moved And the power of the gospel shall prevail For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name Chorus Opening Prayer: Rev. John Hill Scripture Reading: Daniel 3:19-23: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Then Nebuchadnezzar was so filled with rage against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face was distorted. He ordered the furnace heated up seven times more than was customary, and ordered some of the strongest guards in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. So the men were bound, still wearing their tunics, their trousers, their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the furnace of blazing fire. Because the king’s command was urgent and the furnace was so overheated, the raging flames killed the men who lifted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. But the three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down, bound, into the furnace of blazing fire. Sermon: Staying Faithful in Unfamiliar Times: Rev.

John Hill Kyrie Words of Assurance Song: Take Time to Be HolyTake Time to Be Holy Verse 1Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word. Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak, Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. Verse 2Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see. Verse 3Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide; And run not before Him, whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord, And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word. Verse 4Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, Each thought and each motive beneath His control. Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. Benediction: Rev. John Hill |

![]() The scholarship may be awarded to more than one recipient. If you have been awarded this scholarship in the past or if you have applied for this scholarship before, you may re-apply. You may receive the scholarship more than once. There is no age requirement. Any student who is a member of Crievewood United Methodist Church may apply for this scholarship. An application form may be obtained in the church office. Completed applications MUST be received in the church office no later than Sunday, August 23, 2020. This scholarship is available to part time as well as full time students. We are fortunate to have this scholarship available at our church. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!! Please consult the scholarship form for further details. Scholarship Selection CommitteePastor’s Pen When I was a child I was a little shy and pretty afraid to try new things. I think I was afraid to get things wrong or not to do them well, and that fear prevented me from doing certain activities. I’ve always liked to be able to master a task or skill – anything from a video game to school work to knowing each channel number on our cable package as a kid (Channel 33 was USA Network, in case you were wondering). If I didn’t already know how to do something, I often would avoid it. While I’ve overcome the shyness and the reticence around new experiences, I still like to get things right (Classic One on the Enneagram as I mentioned in Sunday’s sermon). One of the things about life and ministry during this time of a global pandemic is that no one really knows what the right thing to do is. Do we restart in-person worship soon or hold off until a later date? What are the chances that someone could get sick? Do we limit the number of people who can attend? What precautions do we need to take? What are the financial implications of waiting longer? What are the risks of not waiting long enough? Who even gets to make the decision? To what voices and data do we pay attention? Do we restart if only some of the congregation can attend or wait until everyone can? Do we have one service, or two, or more? There are no clear answers, and opinions will vary from person to person on these and other questions. The Administrative Council met – socially distanced with masks in the Sanctuary and via Zoom – on Sunday afternoon with these questions as the backdrop. The Council voted unanimously to have Chelsea and me appoint an ad hoc committee to think through these questions. We will gather this task force in the coming days to begin our work of discernment about when to restart in-person worship and how best to do so. The group will reflect a broad spectrum of demographics from the congregation and have representation from the medical community, the Trustees, the worship committee, and more. Before I arrived, the Administrative Council had hoped to restart in-person worship on the first Sunday of August, but we will continue to worship virtually until this working group recommends otherwise. I know that I feel a lot of pressure and desire to have a firm date when we can gather in the Sanctuary again, but I think it is best to allow other things to guide us than the calendar. I don’t know what the right answer is to when we should restart in-person worship. I don’t think anyone does. Maybe there isn’t even such a thing as a right answer to that question. But I’m grateful for people who are willing to wrestle with the question and look at it from different angles and perspectives. I trust that as we do that, God’s Spirit will guide us and together we’ll settle on something that seems best to our spirits. In the meantime, thank you for your patience. I long to be able to worship with you in person and meet many of you for the first time. Until then, see you on Facebook Live! Rev. John Hill ![]() for in person worship is delayed.

Both of us were raised and nurtured in faith communities, and cherish deeply the power of relationships in the body of Christ. You are a gift. We also want to offer thanksgiving to God for your witness to faith lived in word and deed. Beyond the privilege of serving God together, we have grown spiritually by your example. You are a blessing. And, we are grateful for the wonderful “drive-by good-bye”, the generous farewell gift, the many cards and letters, and the gracious DVD compilation that affirmed us in this transition. You are an instrument of God’s grace. With Crievewood UMC, we have shared life in such a sublime and meaningful context, we claim and trust the promise that even as the relationship has changed the bond in Christ is eternal. The two of us are settling into our new home, so far retirement (for Peter) looks like unpacking boxes, serving as Patti’s personal attaché, and substitute preaching at two rural congregations in Dickson County. We’ll get the hang of it eventually! Much love, Patti and Peter ![]() Bill Lovell is a former pastor of Crievewood UMC, and he has a small supply of these masks to sell for Bu Bu.

The CHNA’s farmers’ market hosted by Crievewood UMC continues on Thursday evenings during the summer but with social distancing practices in place. The market has local produce including peaches and berries, meats, bread, and baked goods. Please come and support our local farmers. Crievewood has begun a ministry partnership with St. Mary of Bethany Anglican Parish. Once our building is ready for in-person worship, they will be using our sanctuary space to hold their service each Sunday at 4:00 pm. We look forward to additional opportunities for joint ministry with their congregation in spreading the love of Jesus throughout our city. Still looking for more information?
