Welcoming Hymn | ||
Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Bruce Myers |
ONE: In days of old God called Abraham and Sarah. ALL: Come-- I am with you; step out in faith. ONE: God speaks still, claiming people of every land and race. ALL: Come-- I will bless you, that you may bless others. ONE: Heirs of the covenant, let us continue the journey. ALL: Come-- let us worship the Lord. |

Life of the Church | We Are So Blessed | Lynn Hamilton |
ONE: Sending God, you speak to souls both calm and chaotic and summon us to follow. ALL: But your call threatens to uproot our lives, so we disregard your voice and cling to the soils of safe, familiar places. ONE: Guiding Spirit, your wind whips through communities both settled and stirring and urges us toward new expressions of faith. ALL: But your call threatens to blow us off course, so we ignore your dynamic spirit and shelter within protected harbors. ONE: Saving Christ, you enter into hearts both trusting and skeptical and plant within us the seed of faith. ALL: Forgive us when we ignore your summons to grow as disciples. Immerse us in the Spirit |
||
Passing of the Peace | For the Beauty of the Earth | Congregation |
ONE: Listen, the time has come at last. Look, now is the day of salvation! In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! ALL: In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. |

Prelude | Great Are You Lord | Praise Band |
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. |
