OPENING MUSIC On Eagle’s Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
(REFRAIN) And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield (REFRAIN)
You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come (REFRAIN)
For to His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone (REFRAIN)

CLOSING HYMN – O God, Our Help in Ages Past
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home:
Under the shadow of thy throne, Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears us all away;
We fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day.
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home!

VIRTUAL PASSING OF THE PEACE
Psalm 91 The Lord Is My FortressLive under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow
of God All-Powerful.2 Then you will say to the Lord, “You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you.”3 The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases.4 He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. 5 You won’t need to worry about dangers at night or arrows during the day.6 And you won’t fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disaster at noon.7 You will not be harmed, though thousands fall all around you.
8 And with your own eyes you will see the punishment of the wicked. 9 The Lord Most High is your fortress. Run to him for safety, and no terrible disasters will strike you or your home.11 God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will carry you in their arms, and you won’t hurt your feet on the stones. You will overpower the strongest lions and the most deadly snakes.14 The Lord says, “If you love me and truly know who I am I will rescue you and keep you safe.15 When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.16 You will live a long life and see my saving power.”
Daniel 3:16-28
The three men replied, “Your Majesty, we don’t need to defend ourselves. 17 The God we worship can save us from you and your flaming furnace. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we still won’t worship your gods and the gold statue you have set up.”19 Nebuchadnezzar’s face twisted with anger at the three men. And he ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual. 20 Next, he commanded some of his strongest soldiers to tie up the men and throw them into the flaming furnace. 21-23 The king wanted it done at that very moment. So the soldiers tied up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and threw them into the flaming furnace with all of their clothes still on, including their turbans. The fire was so hot that flames leaped out and killed the soldiers.24 Suddenly the king jumped up and shouted, “Weren’t only three men tied up and thrown into the fire?” Yes, Your Majesty,” the people answered.25 “But I see four men walking around in the fire,” the king replied. “None of them is tied up or harmed, and the fourth one looks like a god.”[a] 26 Nebuchadnezzar went closer to the flaming furnace and said to the three young men, “You servants of the Most High God, come out at once!” They came out, 27 and the king’s high officials, governors, and advisors all crowded around them. The men were not burned, their hair wasn’t scorched, and their clothes didn’t even smell like smoke. 28 King Nebuchadnezzar said: Praise their God for sending an angel to rescue his servants! They trusted their God and refused to obey my commands. Yes, they chose to die rather than to worship or serve any god except their own.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Belchertown Board of Health voted unanimously on September 2nd, 2021 to enact the regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and additional risks posed by the Delta variant.
Effective September 9, 2021, except where specifically exempted by these regulations, masks are required in indoor spaces, regardless of vaccination status, for all individuals over the age of five (5) years old.
BLOOMIN’ 4 GOOD - The Helping Hands food pantry is fortunate to be the recipient of Stop and Shop’s Bloomin’ 4 Good program for the month of September. This means that we will receive $1 for every Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet with the red circle sticker purchased at the Belchertown Stop and Shop. The last time we were the beneficiaries of this program, Helping Hands received $153. We would love to see if we can beat this number! Thank you for all your support.

OPENING MUSIC On Eagle’s Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
(REFRAIN) And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield (REFRAIN)
You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come (REFRAIN)
For to His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone (REFRAIN)

CLOSING HYMN – O God, Our Help in Ages Past
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home:
Under the shadow of thy throne, Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears us all away;
We fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day.
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home!

Psalm 91 The Lord Is My FortressLive under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow
of God All-Powerful.2 Then you will say to the Lord, “You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you.”3 The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases.4 He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. 5 You won’t need to worry about dangers at night or arrows during the day.6 And you won’t fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disaster at noon.7 You will not be harmed, though thousands fall all around you.
8 And with your own eyes you will see the punishment of the wicked. 9 The Lord Most High is your fortress. Run to him for safety, and no terrible disasters will strike you or your home.11 God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will carry you in their arms, and you won’t hurt your feet on the stones. You will overpower the strongest lions and the most deadly snakes.14 The Lord says, “If you love me and truly know who I am I will rescue you and keep you safe.15 When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.16 You will live a long life and see my saving power.”
Daniel 3:16-28
The three men replied, “Your Majesty, we don’t need to defend ourselves. 17 The God we worship can save us from you and your flaming furnace. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we still won’t worship your gods and the gold statue you have set up.”19 Nebuchadnezzar’s face twisted with anger at the three men. And he ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual. 20 Next, he commanded some of his strongest soldiers to tie up the men and throw them into the flaming furnace. 21-23 The king wanted it done at that very moment. So the soldiers tied up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and threw them into the flaming furnace with all of their clothes still on, including their turbans. The fire was so hot that flames leaped out and killed the soldiers.24 Suddenly the king jumped up and shouted, “Weren’t only three men tied up and thrown into the fire?” Yes, Your Majesty,” the people answered.25 “But I see four men walking around in the fire,” the king replied. “None of them is tied up or harmed, and the fourth one looks like a god.”[a] 26 Nebuchadnezzar went closer to the flaming furnace and said to the three young men, “You servants of the Most High God, come out at once!” They came out, 27 and the king’s high officials, governors, and advisors all crowded around them. The men were not burned, their hair wasn’t scorched, and their clothes didn’t even smell like smoke. 28 King Nebuchadnezzar said: Praise their God for sending an angel to rescue his servants! They trusted their God and refused to obey my commands. Yes, they chose to die rather than to worship or serve any god except their own.
