Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
How wonderful is life, O God; how sweet every breath. The mountains rise around us, tall and bold against your sky. Our hearts are as strong as the stone that forms them, for we are assured by your power and presence, by your hope and promise. Yet the world and its troubles challenge us. Our minds are filled with visions of darkness and threat, and we become afraid. in our fear, we can lash out, and shut out others. Let our strong hearts overwhelm our fears, we pray. Replace our sins of doubt with the assurance that is you. Forgive our weakness so that we may become bold in our desire to live lives that reflect your Grace. We ask these things 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, Christ 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 | Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! | 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. |
