Gathering Song | God Welcomes All | Hymn #399 |
One: Our God is majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, and worthy of our highest praise. All: Who is like the Lord? One: Our God blew back the waters, prepared a path through the sea, and appeared as a pillar of fire to light the pilgrim way. All: Who is like the Lord? One: The Lord is our strength and our salvation. All: Let us sing to the Lord who triumphs gloriously! |
||
Welcoming | My Peace | Rev. Bruce Myers |
One: From our first breath to our final hour, we belong to God, the Lord of our lives. We do not live for ourselves, but for our Creator, who desires faith-filled relationships with creation. Recognizing that we fail to fulfill our calling as a covenant people, let us tell the truth to the one who receives us with mercy. All: Merciful God, we are quick to ask for grace when we have fallen short, for patience when we have stubbornly turned away from you. Why are we slow to show the same mercy to others? We keep track of wrongs and cling to old hurts, rather than offering the forgiveness that could free others and ourselves. We strive to be more faithful, Lord; we want to be more loving. So, we kneel before you once again to ask for patience and grace. Transform us, we pray. Pour out your mercy upon us, until it flows forth from us through acts of love. |

Passing of the Peace | Sweet Hour Of Prayer | Congregarion |
All: Siblings in Christ, even as we confess our shortcomings, we have confidence. For we stand before the God to whom we belong, in life and in death, and whose mercy knows no limits. One: Praise to the Lord who forgives us! |

Life of the Church | O For A Thousand Tongues | Elder Jackie Morgan |
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. |
