ONE: May the peace of Christ be with you. ALL: And also with you. |
||
Gathering Song | God Welcomes All | Hymn #399 |
ALL: We have been walking, Lord, on roads of uncertainty and fear, on roads of exhaustion and doubt, on winding roads that have led us here. Join us on our journey, Lord. By your presence, refresh our spirits, set our hearts ablaze, and give us new direction. |
||
Welcoming | My Peace | Rev. Bill Roozboom |
ALL: Jesus, Teacher, we confess today our outright foolishness. We have been foolish to doubt your promises. Foolish to withhold love from neighbor. Foolish to chase riches, prestige and power. Foolish to waste your gifts and spoil your creation. Foolish to divide your children from each other. Foolish to think hope is lost. Wise us up again. Open our hearts to your presence in our lives, in our neighbors, in our world. In your grace, help us grab onto our millionth second chance, and forge a new road from here on. Amen. |
||
Life of the Church | There's Something About That Name | Elder Kay Chabot |
Hear the good news! New life is not only possible; it has drawn near to us in Jesus. The promise is for us, and for all the children of God. By the grace of God, the glory of Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are forgiven and we are free! Alleluia! Amen. |
||
Passing of the Peace | This Is My Father's World | Congregation |
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. |
||
Prelude | Glory, Glory, Glory | Praise Band |
Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen. |
