Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
Each day we wake and begin a new day, O God, a day filled with the light of your love! Each breath is a miracle, every life beyond value. You give us freedom of choice, and a bounty of opportunities. You wait faithfully for our attention, and long for us to be as one in your name. We give thanks, Lord, for the freedom of our hearts and minds, but too often look down to guide our steps instead of up to guide our hearts. We miss the reality of Grace, and the fullness of your love meant for all. Forgive our omissions, we pray. Help us to not just breathe, but to live, and to create meaningful lives worthy of your love. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Nancy Spencer |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |
||
Passing of the Peace | Morning Has Broken | Congregation |
God, source of all light, by your Word you give light to the soul. Pour out upon us the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that, through the Scriptures, our hearts and minds may be opened to know your will in our lives. Amen. |
