Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
We are, O Lord, the sheep of your pasture. You stand near in the dark of night, and gather us to safety in the day. Under your shelter we need not fear, even when we feel lost and can’t find our way. You will seek us out and gather us in. How blessed we are! How thankful for your sacrifice of love! We are ashamed when we fail and sin, we feel empty when we hate and judge. Fill us, we pray, with your light of forgiveness, and let that light replace our weakness with the strength of faith, hope and generosity of spirit. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Morella Larsen |
Hear the Good News! Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Chris t prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know you are forgiven and be at peace. Amen. |

Passing of the Peace | Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee | 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 | Gloria Patri | Praise Band |
Guide us, O God, by your Word and Spirit, that in your light we may see light, in your truth find freedom, and in your will discover your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |
