Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Bruce Myers |
One: The spirit of God be upon you. ALL: The spirit of wisdom and understanding. One: The spirit of counsel and might and the spirit of knowledge. ALL: Almighty God, strong in your wisdom and mighty in your mercy. In this hour of worship, focus us on your great spirit of understanding, Grant us understanding in our relationships with one another, stranger and friend. Grant us a vision of a world where the lion and lamb are together. Grant us a vision of a world where love is stronger than hate. Forgive us for being so blind to Your peace, Your strength, Your love for us. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. |

Life of the Church | He | Elder Morella Larsen |
Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, was risen for us, and reigns in power over us. Sisters and brothers hear this good news. Through Christ we are forgiven and reconciled with the Creator of all. |

Passing of the Peace | Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus | 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. |
