Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
How can we know your ways, O God? How can we understand the mystery of life, and our place with you? When we close our eyes, we can imagine the awe of your disciples on that long ago mountain. The light, the prophets, the voice of our Creator. The presence of the Christ. We bow our heads in humility before you, yet stand tall before nations as your people, your voices, your hands in this world. Help us when we fail to climb the mountains of our lives, and dwell in the darkness that is sin and faithlessness. Restore us to wonder, awe, trust, and action. Feed our hungry hearts, we pray, and let your love shine through us. in Jesus' name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Jim DeHart |
There is no sin so terrible that God cannot forgive There is no hurt so terrible that God cannot heal In Jesus Christ, God has forgiven us and set us free! |

Passing of the Peace | Joy to the 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 | Gloria Patri | Praise Band |
O God, light of the minds that know you, life of the souls that love you, strength of the thoughts that seek you, help us to know you so that we may truly love you and truly serve you, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. |
