Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
We came into the world in innocence, eyes wide open. You created us to live in a place of love and hope, to trust in you and grow in faith and works. We found happiness in the smallest things: bare feet on grass, the fast heartbeat of a baby bird held in a small hand. You were so real, dear Lord, and so near. When we grew older, we began to forget our sense of innocence. We cared more for ourselves than others, and if we were blessed we began to judge the less fortunate. If life was hard, we hid from you. Forgive us we pray. Remind us of the untouched grass and the hopeful, giving heart. Restore our inner light and set us on right paths, your path. We ask always in Jesus’ name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Jim Pilgrim |
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 | Arise Your Light Has Come! | 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 |
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 |
