Good morning and welcome to everyone who cannot make the service this morning, I would like to encourage you to attend in person next week if possible and transport can be arranged if needed.
Lets pray
Father we are so grateful that we can be in your house this morning, to be with our brothers and sisters, to praise, to give thanks, to hear your word, and take communion together.
We think of what is happening around the world in Afghanistan, and counties that are experiencing extreme weather conditions with fire, floods, and earthquakes, we pray that in this troubled times people will know your peace, the peace that the world cannot give, although there are wars, famine, poverty, and people who find life difficult may they know you also as shepherd in these times we ask in Jesus name.
As your followers may we walk in the power of your Spirit, being salt and light, good Samaritan's, faithful and obedient servants having lives built upon the rock until Jesus comes we ask all this in Jesus name Amen.

Now for the parable we are looking at this morning for the young at heart.
20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ 5 So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13 But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”

24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
