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 and 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 | Dick Erickson |
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 | 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 |
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. |
