Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
Every dawn we are given the gift of life, a time to laugh and love. And every day we look for the pleasures of your creation, in the Beauty of earth, and in friendships. We are grateful, Lord,for your many gifts. We are in wonder that we receive them. Yet, so often we worry about our future. We fear loss, we fear death, we sense danger outside of our control. Forgive us, we pray. We don't want to doubt, yet we want guarantees and proof. Restore our faith, give us strength, nurture peace in our hearts. Let hope abound and darkness, swept away. in Jesus' name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Donna Genett |
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 | When Morning Gilds the Skies | 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. |
