| Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Sara McCurdy |
Forgive us Lord, for it is easy to get caught up in the mood of the coming season. We confess our ease in focusing on the secular "reason for the season" which is to buy and spend. Slow us down, Lord. In this season of Thanksgiving, let us offer our prayers of gratitude for your constant care. You have blessed us with work to be done, harvests to be gathered in, and people with whom to share our bounty. We are called to look beyond our laden tables and filled cupboards to those for whom this time is just another day of hunger and loss. Help us to reach out to our friends and neighbors and to those whom we have called strangers. Remind us that the harvest is given to be shared and not hoarded. Open our hearts in actions of gratitude that we may truly offer our praise and thanksgiving to you. 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. |
||
| Passing of the Peace | Come, Ye Thankful People, Come | Congregation |
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 |

Leader: As we reach out in love to each other, God’s love shines through us. People: As we reach out in caring to each other, God’s love brings healing light. All: For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God; for the good we all inherit, thanks be to God; for the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all, that love has found us, thanks be to God. | Give Thanks | Hymn #367 (all) |
