Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
I know your love, O Lord, I feel it in my heart. I experience your grace in every breath, and see the beauty of your world all around me. Your presence fills my days, and your strength sweeps away the darkness that pursues me. Why should I fear when I am confident in you, and why should I anger when your desire for me is peace? I trust you who created me, and crave the nearness of your love, your steadfast hand upon my very life. It is in faith that I ask your forgiveness when I have sinned, when I have harmed others, when I have looked away from need or denied your presence in my life through word or deed. I ask and pray in Jesus’ name that by your Grace I will become again that child of wonder, awed by the stars in the heavens and, without question, following your footsteps upon the earth. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder John Evans |
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. |

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. |
